UCLA professor of integrative biology and physiology David Walker, PhD, and colleagues, in addition showed that tweaking a few specific genes in aging fruit flies’ neurons prevented this F-actin ...

The new study shows that preventing F-actin accumulation led to much more active autophagy in the brains of aged fruit flies.

Not only have researchers identified how a common cellular protein affects aging, but they’ve tweaked the genes that produce it in fruit flies, extending healthy lifespan by 25% to 30%. The ...

“When I made ‘Actin Up,’ I originally thought of Sexyy in the first place,” Richman said in a statement. “An anthem for a rebel.” The “not a hip hop artist ...

Tommy Richman and Sexyy Red are “Actin Up” together on the new remix that dropped on Friday (April 18). “Bend it over, shake that a–, show that print/ Clean a– bi—, smell good, I ain ...

Autophagy is the body’s way of cleaning out damaged cells, in order to regenerate newer, healthier cells. It allows your body to remove the dysfunctional cells.

Humans aren’t the only ones who grow forgetful as they age — fruit flies do, too. But because fruit flies have a lifespan of only about two months, they can be a useful model for understanding the ...

Buildup of a protein called filamentous actin, or F-actin, in the brain inhibits the removal of cellular wastes, including DNA, lipids, proteins and organelles. The resulting accumulation of waste ...
