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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
