Great to see this finally out! Congratulations to Estere and team for all the hard work!
Out today! Circadian rhythms in proteome turnover, especially macromolecular complexes, which allow proteome renewal even under cellular proteostasis, osmostasis, and energy homeostasis constraints: https://t.co/LxldfhzvR0

Today, on #RareDiseaseDay, I’m thinking of the 300 million living with rare diseases worldwide. As a researcher studying inherited optic neuropathies, I'm driven by the hope that our work can one day improve their lives. Let's raise awareness & drive progress together!
