The discovery, published in Nature Communications, could help uncover treatments for age-related conditions, such as Alzheimer&#8217;s disease, which are often caused by accumulation of misfolded proteins.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2019-12-secret-life-worms-cellular-recycling.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">The secret to a long life?
