Abstract:Since the discovery of the proteasome (1986), many years passed before researchers explored the benefits of its activation. However, its inhibition, which was first observed in the beginning of the 1990s, gained wide acceptance because of its anti-tumor effect, as proteasome inhibition induces apoptosis. Currently, a proteasome inhibitor is utilized as a clinical tool. However, proteasome activation has been shown to either extend the life span of many cellular and animal models or prevent the accumulation of … Show more
“…The proteasome comprises a central catalytic core named 20S that comprises 28 subunits present in four heptamers in a cylinder shape. It has been demonstrated that the proteasome functionality declines during the ageing process and triggers the onset of age-related diseases and neurodegeneration [11]. The UPS activation is able to extend the life span in several species and cellular models [11].…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
