Description : The role of peroxisomes in ageing.
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are serious threats of living cells, because they can damage important macromolecules. ROS contribute to ageing, which is the loss of viability due to cell deterioration. In eukaryotes mitochondria and peroxisomes are the major ROS producing organelles. This project aims to understand the role of peroxisomes in ageing and cell death, using yeast as a model system.
