This metabolite travels to other organs and activates proteostasis, the cellular mechanism responsible for properly maintaining, repairing and eliminating proteins. It was [...]
In a major breakthrough in cell biology, a research group from Osaka University has identified a protein, named HKDC1, as a key factor in maintaining cellular youth. This research, published in the prestigious journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, reveals how HKDC1 plays a vital role in preserving the functionality of two essential [...]
