Protein intake and loss of proteostasis in the eldery [PDF]
The Ukrainian Biochemical Journal, 2021 Ageing is a process of declining bodily function and a major risk factor of chronic diseases. The declining bodily function in ageing can cause loss of proteostasis (protein homeostasis), which is a balance between protein synthesis, folding ...

Microgravity inhibits autophagy in human capillary endothelial cells in space flight
Autophagy Reports, 2022 Microgravity and space radiation (SR) are the two environmental factors that most affect human crews in space flight (SF). The endothelium is highly sensitive to gravitational unloading and several health problems reported by astronauts derive from ...
