Cells That Retain Their Waste Disposal Proteins Appear To Live Longer

Cells That Retain Their Waste Disposal Proteins Appear To Live Longer: "US researchers studying yeast cells found that ageing cells able to retain a group of proteins that ferry compounds across cellular membranes and get rid of toxic waste have a longer lifespan in that they can produce more copies of themselves compared with cells that lose their waste disposal proteins; they also hope their finding may help us better understand stem cells and cancer cells."
