Researchers at McMaster University discover MANF's role in aging protection through protein breakdown and cell cleanup activation.

Researchers at McMaster University have identified a new function of the protein MANF, which protects cells from age-related decline. Published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the study reveals that MANF aids in breaking down accumulated proteins and activates cell cleanup systems. This understanding could lead to new treatments for age-related diseases, promoting healthier aging and maintaining cellular health.
