  • New Insights into Brain Aging: How Actin Accumulation Limits Health in Drosophila

    In a groundbreaking study published in Nature Communications, scientists from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), led by Dr. David Walker, have identified a critical factor in brain aging linked to declining healthspan—the accumulation of F-actin, a filamentous form of actin, in the neurons of aging brains. Their findings, based on research conducted with…
