Sleep deprivation and circadian disruption are known to negatively impact health - but how exactly do they affect proteostasis and aging?

📢 It's our pleasure to welcome Prof. Rick Morimoto for our next #FOR5762 seminar series!

Talk: 'Cell Non-Autonomous Regulation of Organismal Proteostasis'

Looking forward to seeing you there!

FEBS Press Cells rely on regulated proteostasis mechanisms to keep their internal compartments functioning properly. When these mechanisms fail, damaged proteins accumulate, disrupting organelles, such as the n...

🚨Excited to share this new review in @febsj.bsky.social by our #FOR5762 project leader @thevilchezlab.bsky.social!

The article explores how organelle #proteostasis preserves cellular function, and how its decline contributes to #aging and disease.

Aging clocks delineate neuron types vulnerable or resilient to neurodegeneration and identify neuroprotective interventions - Nature Aging Gallrein et al. pair functional assays with clocks to compare chronological versus biological age of single neuron types in C. elegans, to probe their vulnerability or resilience to neurodegeneration,...

🚨Thrilled to share this exciting new paper by our #FOR5762 project leader @bjornschumacher.bsky.social, published in #NatureAging!

The study uncovers neuron-specific aging patterns and points to potential neuroprotective interventions.

Congratulations! 🎉
