| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The goal of this study is to elucidate the roles of α2-antiplasmin in memory formation and age-related cognitive decline. We demonstrated that α2-antiplasmin is involved in memory formation and retention. We also found that the increased level of α2-antiplasmin might lead to age-related cognitive decline.
