Visualizing cellular proteostasis

Medical Research Council (Cambridge)
Laboratory of Molecular Biology
Each cell relies on thousands of internal biochemical reactions, carried out by around ten thousand different types of proteins. These cellular proteins, collectively known as the proteome, must be synthesized in precise quantities, undergo correct folding, and be accurately localized within the cell. Read more

NWD DLA programme: Phosphorylation control of EB1-organised microtubule signalling networks in neuronal ageing

University of Liverpool
Faculty of Health and Life Sciences
To function over a lifetime, nerve cells must maintain healthy axons that transmit neuronal signal. Inside each axon, bundles of microtubules provide structural support and tracks for transporting materials. Read more

NWD DLA programme: Decoding microtubule regulation required for neuronal homeostasis in vivo

University of Liverpool
Faculty of Health and Life Sciences
How do nerve cells preserve axons that can be hundreds of times longer than the cell body for an entire lifetime? This PhD will uncover how Doublecortin-like kinase (DCLK) and Tau work together to protect microtubule tracks that give axons shape, strength and act as a transport system. Read more
