Researchers identify a protein that drives ageing without triggering inflammation

Scientists have identified a protein that appears to contribute to the ageing process without provoking the inflammatory response typically associated with it. The finding is reported in an article published in Nature. The discovery could help researchers distinguish between the mechanisms that cause ageing and those that produce inflammation. Further study would be needed to establish how the protein works in living organisms and whether it could be a target for interventions.
