    Plasma membrane damage limits replicative lifespan in yeast and induces premature senescence in human fibroblasts

    Plasma membrane damage (PMD) occurs in all cell types due to environmental perturbation and cell-autonomous activities. However, cellular outcomes of PMD remain largely unknown except for recovery or death. In...

    LONRF2 is a protein quality control ubiquitin ligase whose deficiency causes late-onset neurological deficits

    Protein misfolding is a major factor of neurodegenerative diseases. Post-mitotic neurons are highly susceptible to protein aggregates that are not diluted by mitosis. Therefore, post-mitotic cells may have a s...

    Polo-box domain: a versatile mediator of polo-like kinase function

    Members of the polo subfamily of protein kinases have emerged as important regulators in diverse aspects of the cell cycle and cell proliferation. A large body of evidence suggests that a highly conserved polo...
