How do cells sense, respond, and adapt to protein-folding stress …
WEBCells rely on complex cellular stress response networks to preserve homeostasis. Detecting and appropriately responding to internal imbalances allows the cell to maintain a healthy proteome and an intact genome. How do cells maintain the health of their transcriptome? How to different stress signaling pathways integrate to allow a cell to make decisions?
Network re-wiring in disease Diego Acosta-Alvear Lab
WEBAll cellular stress responses control the survival/death decision. Therefore, these homeostatic networks are often re-wired in disease, allowing abnormal cells to evade apoptosis and thrive. How does network re-wiring turn these finely tuned homeostats into maladaptive cytoprotectors?

WEBWhile we all aspire for a long lifespan, what is most coveted is a long period of vigor and health, or “healthspan,” that precedes the inevitable decline of advancing age. Researchers at UC Santa Barbara have discovered that instruments of death that cells use to commit suicide when things go wrong contribute to making a longer and healthier life …

WEBI work on understanding the initial transition into diet-induced diabetes using the Nile rat (Arvicanthis Niloticus) model. Type 2 diabetes is a multifactorial disease mainly driven by nutritional stresses and the extent of its broad ranging health problems is heavily biased by genetics. We chose the Nile rat model, recently in the Genome Spotlight of TheScientist …
