New insights into age-related decline in protein homeostasis (IMAGE)
Caption
Using fruit flies as an animal model, researchers shed light on the synergistic effects of two different mechanisms by which cells destroy faulty proteins that lead to aging. Moreover, by administering a modern drug, IU1, they could prevent age-related decline, leading to longer and healthier lifespans in fruit flies. These findings could be key to developing anti-aging medicine and treatments for challenging diseases that are more common in old age.
