LOS ANGELES, California, Oct. 29 (TNSres) -- The University of California issued the following news release:
* * *
Key takeaways
* Buildup of a protein called filamentous actin, or F-actin, in the brain inhibits the removal of cellular wastes, including DNA, lipids, proteins and organelles.
* The resulting accumulation of waste diminishes neuronal functions and contributes to cognitive decline.
* By tweaking a few very specific gen . . .
