What causes reduced protein clearance during neural aging?

💡 Explanation

Impaired macroautophagy flux causes reduced protein clearance during aging because it reduces the cell's ability to degrade aggregated proteins. Therefore, autophagy defects lead to neurodegeneration, rather than increased lysosome acidification which would enhance protein degradation.
