🧠 Brain aging decoded! Scientists identify 64 genes & 13 blood proteins linked to aging.

🧠 Brain Aging & Research Advances   🔍 Key Findings: • Brain Age Gap (BAG): Difference between estimated and chronological brain age. • 64 genes identified as influencing brain aging. • 13 proteins in blood linked to accelerated/slowed brain aging.   🩺 Potential Interventions: • 13 anti-aging drugs (e.g., Rapamycin, Dasatinib) show promise in slowing decline. • Plasma proteomics reveals key biomarkers for early intervention.   🌍 Influencing Factors: • Socioeconomic status, pollution, and gender inequality impact brain aging. • Functional connectivity decline linked to cognitive disorders.   🚀 Future Directions: • Clinical trials needed for drug validation. • Genetic & proteomic studies should expand to diverse populations.
