Research Portrait: Protein production problems and quality control conundrums in mitochondria

We are delighted to share a recent Research Portrait published by Umeå University, highlighting our lab's work on mitochondrial protein biosynthesis and quality control. The article explores how cells monitor the production of mitochondrial proteins, why these quality control systems become less effective during ageing, and how their failure may contribute to age-related diseases such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease.

The feature also discusses our lab's efforts to uncover the molecular mechanisms that safeguard mitochondrial protein production, as well as our broader interest in understanding how these processes influence cellular ageing and health span.

Many thanks to Johanna Nordström and Umeå University for the opportunity to showcase our research.
