Approximately 40% of human diseases may be attributable to defects in the cellular proteostasis machinery, including the ubiquitin-proteasome system. Accumulation of misfolded, damaged, or aggregated proteins can lead to prolonged stress, accumulation of reactive oxygen species, and cell death. In this webinar, brought to you by Bio-Techne, Jennifer Johnston will discuss how her research of ubiquitin-proteasome system elements, including Parkin E3 ligase, is used to diagnose and treat diseases caused by defects in proteostasis pathways.

Why Do We Feel Butterflies in the Stomach?

These fluttering sensations are the brain’s reaction to certain emotions, which can be amplified or soothed by the gut’s own “bugs".
