Scientists researched a drug called IU1 for its potential to alleviate age-related issues in protein quality control systems. Aging is an unavoidable process often associated with multiple health conditions. As a result, research into the effects of aging has become increasingly important, with scientists exploring ways to slow down aging and mitigate its harmful effects on the human body. Although aging leads to the gradual decline of all bodily systems, one of the primary contributing factors is the disruption of protein homeostasis, also known as “proteostasis.” Our cells have several mechanisms that help detect damaged or misfolded proteins and break...
