The brief
Revel Pharmaceuticals and its collaborators have reported the use of an engineered enzyme to reverse protein chemical aging. This process, described as enzymatic deglycation, targets protein damage that accumulates over time in human tissue.
Coverage from Nature, C&EN, and Phys.org emphasizes the enzyme's efficiency in erasing stubborn marks of aging, with the-scientist.com describing the mechanism as "lawnmower-like." The findings indicate a reversal of molecular aging by up to 70% in the studied samples. Future attention will center on the application of this enzymatic deglycation to tackle protein damage and its effects on human tissue.
