Spermine, a naturally occurring molecule, shows promise in combating neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. It tackles harmful protein buildup by encouraging misfolded proteins to aggregate into larger, manageable clumps that cells can eliminate through autophagy. Studies in nematodes also reveal that spermine promotes longevity and improves cellular energy production. These findings suggest the potential for developing therapies that utilize polyamines, like spermine, and sophisticated AI-powered molecular design to target protein misfolding and improve cellular health. This could lead to innovative treatments for age-related diseases.
