Loss of proteostasis

Hallmark of aging80 papers15 findings

Studies in human and model organism cells show loss of proteostasis during aging, which metformin, curcumin, and resveratrol reduce in Dictyostelium discoideum. In mice, a high-fat diet exacerbates cardiomyocyte proteostasis loss, while reviews link it to synucleinopathies.
