Protein aggregates are associated with replicative aging without compromising protein quality control
Differentiation of cellular lineages is facilitated by asymmetric segregation of fate determinants between dividing cells.In budding yeast, various aging factors segregate to the aging (mother)-lineage, with poorly understood consequences.In this study, we show that yeast mother cells form a protein aggregate during early replicative aging that is
Deciphering the role of autophagy in heart failure
Heart failure (HF) refers to a progressive pathological condition when cardiac muscles fail to pump adequate blood supply (cardiac output) to meet the metabolic demand of the body.Among various cellular and molecular mechanisms identified for the onset and progression of HF, autophagy dysregulation is increasingly getting recognized.Autophagy is a
