Many age-related ailments, including Alzheimer&#8217;s and Parkinson&#8217;s diseases, are caused by protein aggregation, a result of errors in protein folding. Yet, the mechanisms underlying how aging causes proteins to aggregate has largely remained a black box. In new research published Jan. 19 in Nature, researchers at Stanford University have traced this problem to age-dependent impairment of the machinery that produces new proteins.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2022-01-role-ribosomes-age-related-diseases.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">The role of ribosomes in age-related diseases<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Phys.org&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aging leads to a decline in cellular fitness and loss of optimal protein function.
