Scientists just found a protein that reverses brain aging

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-07 11:56:27

Aging is particularly harsh on the hippocampus -- the brain region responsible for learning and memory. Now, researchers at UC San Francisco have identified a protein that's at the center of this decline. They looked at how the genes and proteins in the hippocampus changed over time in mice and found just one that differed between old and young animals. It's called FTL1. Old mice had more FTL1, as well as fewer connections between brain cells in the hippocampus and diminished cognitive abilit

The next Starship flight will test much more than hardware

SpaceX is gearing up to launch its massive Starship rocket from South Texas, a test that gives the company a chance to reverse a brutal few months of mishaps on the ground and in the air. The last Starship test flight was nearly three months ago, and it notched a milestone: the first reuse of a Super Heavy booster. But that mission ended with the upper stage, also called Starship, or Ship, breaking apart on reentry and the booster exploding over the Gulf during the landing burn phase of flight.
