Researchers at the Queensland Brain Institute in Australia have discovered an anti-ageing protein, ATSF-1, which activates repair of damaged mitochondria, which generate energy for cells. Associate Professor Steven Zuryn likens the relationship to a 'pitstop', with ATSF-1 calling for it when mitochondria need repair.
Understanding how cells promote repair is an important step towards identifying possible interventions to prevent mitochondrial damage, the authors said in the study published in the journal Nature Cell Biology said.
Researchers have uncovered an anti-aging function in a protein, ATSF-1, found deep within human cells.
Researchers have found an anti-ageing function in a protein deep within human cells. The protein, ATSF-1, controlled the fine balance between creation of new and repair of damaged mitochondria, the part of cell responsible for producing energy, the researchers at the Queensland Brain Institute (QBI), The University of Queensland, Australia, discovered.
