1. The role of the ubiquitin-proteasome system in neurodegenerative disorders
Abstract : Neurodegenerative disorders are a heterogeneous group of clinically and pathologically diverse diseases. The diseases are characterised by selective loss of neurons. in specific regions of the brain. The result is disruption of motor, sensory or cognitive systems, leading to severe disability of the patients. READ MORE

2. Expression and function of vascular estrogen receptors alpha and beta
Abstract : Estrogen receptors (ER) are expressed not only in classical target organs for estrogen like breast and uterus, but also in male reproductive system as well as in non-reproductive organs such as brain, liver and bone. The functions of ER are quite well known in reproductive organs but less information is available regarding their function in vascular tissue. READ MORE

3. Proteostasis and Aging in Saccharomyces cerevisiae - The role of a Peroxiredoxin
Abstract : Aging is characterized by a progressive decline in physiological functions that limits biological processes, increases the risk of disease, and ultimately leads to death. At the cellular level, aging is associated with accumulation of damaged components, including proteins, indicating that protein homeostasis (or proteostasis) fails to maintain the integrity and functionality of the proteome as cells age.

4. Regulation of protein degradation by virus derived repeated amino acid sequences
Abstract : The ubiquitin-proteasome pathway plays a central role in the controlled degradation of short-lived and regulatory proteins important m a variety of cellular processes, including antigen presentation and combating viral infections. The presentation of antigenic peptides derived from ubiquitin-proteasome dependent degradation of vital proteins to MHC class I restricted cytotoxic T cells is a central component of antiviral responses.

5. Alterations in activity and specificity of intracellular proteolysis in disease pathogenesis
Abstract : The ubiquitin-proteasome pathway (UPP) plays a fundamental role in many basic cellular processes. Virtually all events in cellular physiology include control by the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. Ubiquitinated substrates are degraded by the 26S proteasome, a large multicatalytic protease complex.
