Abstract excerpt
Chondroitin extends lifespan and healthspan in C. elegans, but the relationship between extracellular chondroitin and intracellular anti-aging mechanisms is unknown. The basement membrane (BM) that contains chondroitin proteoglycans is anchored to cells via hemidesmosomes (HDs), and it accumulates damage with aging. In this study, we found that chondroitin regulates aging through the formation of HDs and...
