Although we did observe positive effects on some
aging traits, such as memory
impairments and reduced red blood cell counts, our studies showed that similar drug effects are also seen
in young
mice, indicating that rapamycin did not influence these measures by slowing
aging, but rather via other,
aging - independent, mechanisms.»
We report here a reversal of cognitive
impairment in aged huAPP / PS1
mice by J147 and provide evidence that these beneficial effects are due to the ability of J147 to normalize several different aspects of AD pathology, likely through the up - regulation of the neurotrophin pathway.

mouse models of human deafness disorders and genome - wide association studies
in age - related hearing
impairment.

in young and
aged mice under minimized organizational demand, but failed to improve the
