remodeling of the ER structure and contact sites with other organelles translate in alterations in metabolic regulation during nutritional fluctuations in physiology and metabolic diseases.Read more about Ana Paula Arruda
Over the four billion years that life has evolved on this planet, organisms have acquired amazing phenotypes including natural programs of resistance to stress and disease. The molecular mechanisms underlying these traits are of keen interest in translational applications....Read more about Rachel Brem
As an organism ages, its proteins face an increasing severity in the challenges they receive from extrinsic and intrinsic environmental perturbation. Chaperones become dysregulated, while the degradation machineries stop working properly. The protein accumulates damage and...Read more about Andrew Dillin
