Cells send dirty laundry home to mom
“This ensures that the daughter cell is born without age-related damage,” says professor Thomas Nyström from the Department of Cell and Molecular Biology. Thomas Nyström is a professor of microbiology at the University of Gothenburg and one of Sweden's leading researchers in the field of cellular and molecular biology. His research group has published countless scientific discoveries about cell ageing which have provided a new understanding of aging and age-related diseases. Now he and his colleagues have identified a key piece in the ageing puzzle….
