A buildup of a structural protein called F-actin inside aging brain cells appears to cripple the cellular waste-clearing machinery that keeps neurons healthy, according to a study in Drosophila fruit ...

A study on worms led by researchers from Vanderbilt University School of Medicine in the US has uncovered a previously unknown adaptation to aging that actively remodels one of the largest and most ...

While some people may be older in chronological age, their biological age might be much younger. FangXiaNuo/E+ via Getty Images You likely know someone who seems to age slowly, appearing years younger ...

Ageing may not simply be the result of damage piling up over time. Scientists studying microscopic worms have discovered a striking structural change inside cells that could play a central role in how ...

Researchers at UC Merced used fruit flies to uncover a cellular process common to many organisms that could dramatically impact the understanding of cancer and aging. Department of Molecular and Cell ...

As we age, our cells don’t just wear down—they reorganize. Researchers found that cells actively remodel a key structure called the endoplasmic reticulum, reducing protein-producing regions while ...

When injured, cells have well-regulated responses to promote healing. These include a long-studied self-destruction process that cleans up dead and damaged cells as well as a more recently identified ...

During this process, the cell selectively destroys certain areas of the endoplasmic reticulum. The discovery of ER phagia as part of the aging process indicates that in the future, the mechanism may ...
