Troxerutin, TRPM7, and Diabetic Cognitive Dysfunction
2026-08-09
The reference study identifies a TRPM7–calcineurin–Drp1 Ser637 axis that links calcium dysregulation to mitochondrial fission, neuronal apoptosis, and diabetic cognitive dysfunction. Using diabetic mice and high-glucose hippocampal neurons, the authors show that troxerutin improves cognitive and mitochondrial outcomes by suppressing this pathway, while also defining important limitations for translation beyond the tested models.
