Proteostasis News and Research

RSS

Each mammalian cell contains up to 20,000 proteins, all of which must be maintained and regulated. Proteostasis is a complex pathway that functions to maintain all of the proteins within and around a cell.

Study Uncovers How MANF Protein Enhances Cellular Homeostasis and Longevity

McMaster University researchers have discovered a previously unknown cell-protecting function of a protein, which could open new avenues for treating age-related diseases and lead to healthier aging overall.
