Research at the CSBC reveals that the TRiC/CCT Chaperone Is Implicated in Alzheimer's Disease Based on Patient GWAS and an RNAi Screen in Aβ-Expressing Caenorhabditis elegans

8 August 2014

The human Aβ peptide causes progressive paralysis when expressed in the muscles of the nematode worm, C. elegans . We have exploited this model of Aβ toxicity by carrying out an RNAi screen to identify genes whose reduced expression modifies the severity of this locomotor phenotype. Our initial finding was that none of the...

Research at the Cambridge Systems Biology centre reveals how first organisms could have obtained a metabolic network.

30 April 2014

The sugar phosphate reaction sequences of glycolysis and the pentose phosphate pathway supply modern cells with the intermediates required for the synthesis of RNA, lipids and amino acids. Today, these reactions are catalysed by sophisticated metabolic enzymes, but a new study by Keller, Turchyn and Ralser published in...
