Upon mitochondrial damage, activation of PINK1 and Parkin leads to ubiquitin-dependent removal of damaged mitochondria by autophagy (mitophagy). The intramitochondrial mechanisms

These somites will go on to form the bones and muscles of the skeleton. The timing of the segmentation process

This raises the question of how this cell type diversity is established. In this project you will study asymmetric cell division1, a process in which a single division generates

SRPK was   originally identified as a splicing factor kinase, but recent findings have implicated SRPK in various neurological disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Indeed, SRPK2

Short-lived and long-lived antibody producing B cells provide rapid and durable protection against infection and B cells play a vital role in

This creates a strong dependence on the proteasome, the molecular machinery responsible for much of the cell’s controlled protein degradation. Although drugs that block proteasome activity have transformed   treatment for some
