Autophagy is the name given to a collection of maintenance processes responsible for clearing waste and damaged proteins and structures from the cell. Autophagy is implicated in aging. It is thought to become dysfunctional and less efficient in cells in aging tissues. Further, evidence suggests that improved autophagy is an important mechanisms in the slowing of aging produced by calorie restriction and a range of other interventions tested in laboratory species. Here, researchers discuss the relationship between aging and autophagy specifically in the context of Parkinson’s disease and the role of inflammatory microglia in the progression of that condition. One might compare this with a very similar paper noted last week.
