Figure Lengend Snippet: mRNA expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) 2, 9 (a) and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinase (TIMPs) 1, 2 (b) in the placental tissue samples from pregnancies complicated by early-onset preeclampsia (EOPE). Bar diagrams represent the relative mRNA expression of MMPs 2, 9 (a) and TIMPs 1,2 (b) in placentae from EOPE and normotensive, non-proteinuric controls.

Article Title: Brain-rejuvenating factor TIMP2 is associated with brain health and neuroprotective lifestyle in aged subjects

doi: 10.64898/2025.12.24.25342952

Figure Lengend Snippet: Plasma TIMP2 was analyzed by SomaLogic in three independent human cohorts, with goals to (A) examine translational relevance of TIMP2 in human brain aging and (B) link TIMP2 to known brain rejuvenation behaviors. Given observed associations in humans, we examined causal relationships between lifestyle enrichment and TIMP2 in mouse models. We tested whether (C) exposure to an enriched environment influenced plasma TIMP2 and (D) the pro-neurogenic effects of environmental enrichment on the adult hippocampus were dependent on the presence of TIMP2.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Longitudinal TIMP2 data in ROSMAP (E) show that change in TIMP2 (Timepoint 2 - Timepoint 1) is normally distributed (F) and that decreases in plasma TIMP2 are associated with steeper cognitive declines over time, particularly in memory (G,H) .
