Discover the latest research on the STING protein, which plays a crucial role in both inflammation and lysosomal function. While inflammation is essential for defense against pathogens and regeneration, chronic activation of STING has been linked to age-related diseases. Suppressing STING may accelerate aging due to its role in autophagy and lysosomal function, crucial processes for cell maintenance and longevity.
New studies have identified a unique pathway involving STING in aging, highlighting its role in promoting autophagy through the production of lysosomes. Lysosomal biogenesis and autophagy are crucial for healthy aging and longevity, suggesting that selectively targeting inflammation downstream of STING may be a more effective strategy than blocking its beneficial functions.
Explore the benefits of fasting and calorie restriction in improving the aging immune system. These interventions have been shown to enhance autophagy, a process vital for cell health and longevity. By modulating age-related immunosenescence and inflammaging, fasting and calorie restriction can promote healthy aging and enhance immune system fitness against infections and cancer, common issues in older individuals.
For more information on STING activation and its role in lysosomal biogenesis, as well as the impact of fasting and calorie restriction on immunosenescence and inflammaging, visit our website. Stay informed on the latest advancements in combating age-related diseases and promoting longevity.
