News -Revving up a process slowing down as we age may protect against atherosclerosis, a major cause of heart attacks and strokes.
The National Academy of Sciences held the official induction ceremony for its 2019 members, which had been delayed due to #COVID. Congratulations to my friend and neighbor Dr. Ana Maria Cuervo, M.D., Ph.D. on her induction. http://ow.ly/MBSC50IUrt7 #NAS page at https://bit.ly/39sE9Pd.
In findings published online in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), scientists at Einstein led by Ana Maria Cuervo, M.D., Ph.D., successfully minimized artery-narrowing plaque in mice that would otherwise develop those lesions. The researchers did so by boosting chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA), a cellular housekeeping process that Dr. Cuervo discovered in 1993 and named in 2000.
