Scientists at the University of California made a few tweaks to the brains of aging fruit flies.
By doing so, they prevented this protein from building up, which allowed the fruit flies’ brains to do a better job of self-cleaning and recycling.
If the lessons learned in this study could be applied to humans, the impact could be momentous.
