A team of researchers, led by an Indian-origin scientist, has discovered a new function of a protein that may treat age-related illnesses.

The team from McMaster University in Canada found a previously unknown cell-protecting function of a protein, which could open new avenues for treating age-related diseases and lead to healthier aging.

According to the study published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, cells can create proteins incorrectly, and the cleanup process can become faulty or overwhelmed.
