Researchers have discovered that weakened mitochondria—the powerhouses inside our cells—may be a root cause of memory loss in dementia. Using a new technique to recharge these cellular engines, scientists successfully restored memory function in mouse models, opening promising new avenues for Alzheimer's treatments that target energy depletion before neurons are damaged beyond repair.
