Paraspeckle condensates in cell health, stress and disease – what can structural studies tell us?

About the project. Biomolecular condensates are crucial organisers of cellular biochemistry and hence physiology. The paraspeckle is a stress-responsive nuclear condensate dysregulated in human diseases such as cancer, neurodegeneration and infectious diseases. Read more

Investigating the Role of Extracellular Vesicle-Mediated Transfer of snoRNAs and Ribosomes in Joint Ageing

Ageing causes significant deterioration in musculoskeletal tissues, especially cartilage, contributing to osteoarthritis. Small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) and extracellular vesicles (EVs) change with age and may drive cartilage decline by altering ribosome function and transferring regulatory RNA cargo. Read more

EPSRC DTP - Mechanical failure mechanisms at high pressure

The occurrence of earthquakes with hypocenters deeper than 60 km was recognised very early in the history of seismology. These deep earthquakes make up∼25 % of all earthquakes, are exclusively associated with convergent plate boundaries and locate within, or very close to, thcold subducting oceanic lithosphere.
