Nucleophagy delays aging and preserves germline immortality Aging

Posted by in category: life extension

Nuclear morphology changes with aging, but the role of these changes and the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. The authors find that the nuclear envelope anchor protein ANC-1 in worms, and its counterpart nesprin-1 and nesprin-2 in mammals, promotes the degradation of nuclear components to limit nucleolar size and function in a soma longevity and germline immortality mechanism.
