Reversal of protein chemical aging by enzymatic deglycation.
Abstract
The accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) in long-lived proteins is a hallmark of mammalian aging and implicated as a driver of metabolic dysfunction. Among these adducts, N

Research summary
The paper demonstrates that enzymatic deglycation can reverse the accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) in long-lived proteins, addressing a specific molecular mechanism of cellular aging. This represents an incremental advance in understanding protein homeostasis and potential interventions for protein damage, but it is a preliminary mechanistic study rather than a transformative breakthrough in lifespan extension.
