How Cells Keep Organelles Healthy During Aging and Disease

Updated

Abstract

Cells rely on regulated proteostasis mechanisms to maintain proteome integrity within distinct subcellular compartments.

  • Proteostasis involves protein synthesis, folding, trafficking, and degradation.
  • Disruption of proteostasis can lead to the accumulation of damaged proteins.
  • Accumulated damage may progressively compromise organelle function.
  • Organelle dysfunction is associated with aging and age-related disorders, including neurodegeneration and cancer.
  • Insights into proteostasis could inform therapeutic strategies for promoting healthy aging.
