The rise and rise of proteostasis

This feature was written by Becky Allen for the 2023-2024 Â鶹ÊÓƵ Review.

Proteostasis, the myriad mechanisms that ensure our proteins work correctly, is key to healthy ageing. We speak to Dr Della David and Dr Rahul Samant about their cutting-edge research, why proteostasis is such a growing area of strength at the Â鶹ÊÓƵ, and how the new UK Proteostasis Network will help accelerate research in the field.
