Online now! @thevilchezlab.bsky.social @sedakoyuncu.bsky.social identify age-related hyperactivation of EPS8/RAC signaling in C.elegans as a driver of pathological protein aggregation, highlighting EPS8 and its regulators as potential therapeutic targets. www.nature.com/articles/s43...

The aging factor EPS8 induces disease-related protein aggregation through RAC signaling hyperactivation - Nature Aging
Aging is a risk factor for neurodegenerative diseases associated with protein aggregation. Here the authors identify age-related hyperactivation of EPS8/RAC signaling in C. elegans as a driver of path...

Trilled to share our new work🥳We show that age-related hyperactivation of the EPS8/RAC signaling pathway drives protein aggregation and neurodegeneration — hallmarks of Huntington’s disease and ALS. #proteostasis #aging #neurodegenerativediseases
