Protein traffic jams may explain aging, memory loss, and Alzheimer’s
Scientists at Stanford discovered that ribosomes, the cellular machinery for building proteins, begin to jam and malfunction over time in turquoise killifish. This leads to faulty proteins and harmful clumps linked to Alzheimer’s and aging-related cognitive decline.
