Early life factors in the development of Juvenile idiopathic arthritis

The University of Manchester Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health

Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is an autoimmune inflammatory arthritis with disease onset before the age of 16. Children and young people with this condition develop painful swollen joints and untreated it can lead to long term disability. It may also be associated with comorbid conditions such as uveitis.

Chaperones and the response to protein misfolding stress

The University of Manchester Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health

Misfolded proteins are usually refolded to their functional conformations or degraded by quality control mechanisms. When misfolded proteins evade quality control, they form aggregates that are sequestered to specific sites within cells. Read more
