Whole-body Loss of FSP27 Impairs Cognitive Function via Disruption of Neuro-Metabolic Pathways

Andrew Pugh, Aarav Bhasin, Connor Aleshire, Rabia Basri, Chloe C. Becker, Ishika Puri, Hebaallaha Hussein, Kaia Mckinney, Kate Tenerowicz, Murali Vijayan, Bijinu Balakrishnan, Vishwajeet Puri

This study shows that FSP27 deficiency in mice impairs cognitive function by disrupting neuro-metabolic pathways and gene networks involved in neuronal integrity and brain development.
