In this EMBO Workshop we will explore recent developments in the field and examine models of aging and disease, and their emerging connection to nano-scale organization of the cytoplasm and RNP granules, as well as protein and RNA quality control.
This EMBO Workshop was designed to bring together leading experts on human aging-related diseases as well as animal models of aging and disease, high-resolution and single molecule live cell imaging of biological events relevant to understanding stress response, biophysical and theoretical analysis of protein organization in the cytoplasm, and cell biology of protein folding quality control.
Topics:
- RNP granules in RNA quality control and dynamics
- Meso-scale organization of protein mixtures and phase transitions in the cytoplasm
- Aggregation, stress, and brain diseases
- RNA and Neurodegeneration
- Cellular architecture of protein quality control and aggregation
- Aging, replicative rejuvenation, and asymmetric inheritance
- Inclusions in cellular regulation and disease
- Protein degratation in proteostasis and quality control
