(2012-11-19)
Filarial infections, caused by Brugia malayi, Wuchereria bancrofti and Onchocerca volvulus are a worldwide health problem in developing countries, causing elephantiasis or dermatitis and blindness. 1.3 billion people live ......
The Parkinson’s disease-related kinase Pink1 mediates mitochondrial quality control
(2016-08-29)
Mitochondrial dysfunction is a common feature of many neurodegenerative diseases, in particular Parkinson’s disease (PD). Mutations in the genes encoding the mitochondrial kinase Pink1 and the cytosolic E3 ubiquitin ligase ...
Characterization of the functional role of the Cystein-rich with EGF-like domains (Creld) protein in mitochondrial quality control in Drosophila melanogaster
(2019-08-01)
Cystein-rich with EGF-like domains (Creld) proteins belong to a protein family conserved between species. The mammalian genome contains two Creld genes. Unraveling the function of mammalian Creld proteins has been tried ...
