Article Synopsis
- Scientists have found it really tough to see blood flow in older brains because of their thicker skulls, which makes traditional imaging hard to use.
- They are using a new method called functional ultrasound (fUS) that lets them see blood flow in real-time and clearly.
- In this study, researchers replaced the skull of older mice with a special window to get better images and discovered important details about blood vessels in the brain for ongoing research on aging.
Age-related endothelial dysfunction is a pivotal factor in the development of cardiovascular diseases, stemming, at least in part, from mitochondrial dysfunction and a consequential increase in oxidative stress. These alterations are central to the decline in vascular health seen with aging, underscoring the urgent need for interventions capable of restoring endothelial function for preventing cardiovascular diseases. Dietary interventions, notably time-restricted feeding (TRF), have been identified for their anti-aging effects on mitochondria, offering protection against age-associated declines in skeletal muscle and other organs.
