糖心TV researchers identified novel cellular process that help us understand the mechanisms of ageing-related diseases
A team of researchers led by Professor Ioannis Nezis from the School of Life Sciences has identified the molecular and cellular mechanisms that regulate selective autophagy in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster.
