The intestinal epithelium is a highly dynamic barrier that regulates digestion, absorption, immune responses, and communication between the gut microbiota and the nervous system. To maintain ...
Intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) are exposed to a challenging microenvironment that imposes high pressure on the proteostasis network. Through physiological UPR activation, IECs restore their ...
“[...] our findings provide a preliminary understanding of how mitochondrial and telomeric aging mechanisms may interact to accelerate reproductive and somatic ...
"Science is teamwork. Lone wolves no longer exist," Peter Walter, researcher and professor at the University of California, San Francisco, and former president of the American Society for Biochemistry ...
When improperly folded proteins build up in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), cells become stressed and conditions such as type 2 diabetes, neurodegenerative disorders, and cancers can develop. In a ...
Scientists discovered a role played by ribosomes during the folding of new proteins in cells. Scientists at UCL have discovered a novel role played by ribosomes during the folding of new proteins in ...
Within aging organisms, cells slowly lose their youthful precision: Membranes stiffen, repair systems malfunction, and proteins begin to misfold and pile up. One of the cell organelles that ...
When a protein folds, its string of amino acids wiggles and jiggles through countless conformations before it forms a fully folded, functional protein. This rapid and complex process is hard to ...
Scientists at UCL have discovered a novel role played by ribosomes during the folding of new proteins in cells, described in their paper in Nature. Ribosomes, the cell's dedicated molecular machines ...
