Exercise Activates Brain Cells to Combat Alzheimer’s
TL;DR
Researchers used advanced RNA sequencing to map how exercise impacts specific brain cell types in a model of Alzheimer’s disease, finding that physical activity alters gene activity in microglia and neurovascular astrocytes, promotes neuron formation via the gene Atpif1, and these findings were validated in human brain tissue, offering new avenues for targeted Alzheimer’s therapies.
