which in turn resulted in an improved olfactory function (Figure 1). In the Sinha study,** a similar treatment of aged mice with recombinant GDF11 resulted in improvements of myofibrillar and ...

There seems to be little question that, at least in animals, GDF11 has an amazing capacity to restore aging muscle and brain function," he said. Melton, Harvard's Xander University Professor ...

Human blood also has the same protein. Older mice given GDF11 apparently grew new blood and brain cells, leading to better brain function, Rubin said. In the second Harvard study, researchers led ...

After 4 weeks, they found increased numbers and improved function of muscle satellite cells ... which factors in “young” blood, including GDF11, exert rejuvenating effects in aged mice.

There seems to be little question that, at least in animals, GDF11 has an amazing capacity to restore aging muscle and brain function," he said. Melton, Harvard's Xander University Professor continued ...

is now part of the Harvard research team behind the findings around GDF11. Mice treated with the isolated protein exhibited better cognition, endurance, and “improved function of every organ ...

The GDF11 protein was found to reverse some of this damage, allowing muscle to function as effectively as that of a much younger mouse. Analysis of the brains of the older mice via MRI imaging ...

Both point to a protein found in the blood of young mice, and GDF11 clearly fits the bill. While they looked at different aspects of neural function, the results can be viewed as compatible ...

Working with Lee Rubin, who is developing treatments for neurodegenerative diseases, the team also reported that injections of GDF11 improved the function of the olfactory region of their brains ...
