A study on worms led by researchers from Vanderbilt University School of Medicine in the US has uncovered a previously unknown adaptation to aging that actively remodels one of the largest and most complex structures in our cells. Not only does the finding help clarify the cellular mechanics of aging, but it may also hint at a possible drug target for age-related chronic diseases . As humans and other animals grow old, our cells modify their endoplasmic reticulum (ER) – an extensive transport
