The molecule is called hevin, and it is secreted by a type of brain cell known as an astrocyte. These star-shaped cells help maintain the connections between neurons.

The GNN, innovatively representing adsorbates as pseudo-atoms, accurately predicted intermediate free energies (MAE 0.08-0.15 eV), enabling precise quantification of site-specific activity.

A new study reveals that hevin, a molecule secreted by astrocytes in the brain, can reverse cognitive decline associated with aging and dementia, including Alzheimer's disease. The research ...

In Brazil, researchers from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ) and collaborators from the University of São Paulo (USP) have discovered that a molecule called Hevin can reverse ...
