Description

The study demonstrates that autophagy activation enhances neurogenesis and that autophagy inhibition impairs NPC function, but the precise molecular pathways linking autophagy to neurogenesis control remain unexplained. Understanding these mechanisms is critical for developing targeted therapeutic interventions for age-related cognitive decline.
