Study reveals TUSC2 gene's key role in brain aging and sex-specific effects on mitochondrial function.

A new peer-reviewed study highlights the TUSC2 tumor suppressor gene's crucial role in maintaining mitochondrial function, protein homeostasis, and synaptic pathways in the brain, with significant sex-specific differences observed in mice. Loss of TUSC2 disrupts these processes more in males, and human data shows TUSC2 levels decline with age and Alzheimer's disease, suggesting its importance in brain health. While the study focused on aging and not treatment, it expands understanding of TUSC2 beyond cancer, potentially guiding future therapies for age-related cognitive disorders. Genprex, the company behind the gene, continues to develop related cancer therapies.

Genprex's new preclinical data on the TUSC2 gene comes as 71 of 150 Health-sector US stocks on Pluang rose today.
