Restoration of chaperone-mediated autophagy in aging liver improves cellular maintenance and hepatic function : Nature

“CMA activity declines in aged organisms … in this work we have corrected the CMA defect in aged rodents. We have generated a double transgenic mouse model in which the amount of the lysosomal receptor for CMA, previously shown to decrease in abundance with age, can be modulated.”

Nature Medicine 14, 959-965 (1 September 2008) | doi:10.1038/nm.1851;
