Article Synopsis
- * Research shows that Medin aggregates develop in the aorta and brain blood vessels of mice as they age, and removing the precursor protein MFG-E8 stops these deposits and helps maintain brain blood vessel function.
- * Because of the widespread presence of Medin and its link to aging-related vascular issues, focusing on Medin could be a new strategy for promoting healthier aging.
