The study will focus on proteostasis, or the loss of protein homeostasis, which is a common feature of aging. Proteostasis is a growing field of geroscience, Hevolution said in a Sept. 18 news release. 

Results from the Evanston, Ill.-based university’s research can help discover targets for pharmacological approaches to “rebalance protein folding and degradation in aging,” the release said.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
