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 ...

Actin, a family of proteins that help give cells their shape, are abundant throughout the body. F-actin forms filaments that are essential for maintaining cell structure and many other functions.

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 ...

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 ...

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.

Vesicle‐Associated Actin Assembly by Formins Promotes TGF β ‐Induced ANGPTL4 Trafficking, Secretion and Cell Invasion. Advanced Science , 2023; 2204896 DOI: 10.1002/advs.202204896 Cite This ...

Hot on the heels of a killer 2024, Tommy Richman is back on the grind with his first single of this year, dubbed “ACTIN UP.” Out via ISO Supremacy/Pulse Records, the party-driven track arrives ...

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 ...

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 ...
