Description
Zhiyu Leng and five co-authors proposed in 2026 a blood protein as a warning sign for thinking problems after stroke. The protein, transthyretin, carries thyroid hormone and protects the brain, but its shape changes may matter as much as its amount. In mice with stroke plus low oxygen, memory and brain plasticity faltered while the protein shifted form in memory centers.
Injecting its healthy four-part form helped the mice. Blood samples from patients and healthy peers were compared as a first clinical check. If the signal holds, a common blood test could flag patients for early brain care.
