Autophagy
Autophagy (“self-eating”) is a major catabolic process in eukaryotes that involves the sequestration of cytoplasmic contents into double membraned vesicles known as autophagosomes, which are then
The Plant Catabolism Laboratory
We are interested in the mechanisms and functions of catabolic processes during development, aging and stress response at the molecular, cellular and organismal levels. Our experimental models span
Stress granules
Stress granules are transient membraneless organelles which are formed in eukaryotic cells in response to stress. They are composed of messenger ribonucleoprotein complexes, have core-shell
Proteases
Proteases cleave polypeptide chains and, in this way, modulate activity of target proteins and downstream pathways. Our current efforts are to unravel structure-function relationships of metacaspases

Biotechnology for Sustainability – Final report from Mistra Biotech 2012-2020
Mistra Biotech is a Swedish research programme that has been working for eight years to advance the use of modern biotechnology for a more sustainable agriculture. We have done this on a broad basis,
Milk_quality_factors
Close monitoring of raw milk quality is vital, as high quality in the final product can only be achieved using high-quality raw milk. Hence, approaches to characterise the raw milk, factors
A non-destructive tool for quality assurance of cheese ripening
There is a drive towards automation and continuous quality control of cheeses through real-time analysis during the ripening process. Development of novel technologies enable this trend. We present
How milk quality is affected by dairy farming system and sampling month
In two companion scientific publications in the Journal of Dairy Science, researchers at SLU report on how Swedish farm milk quality is affected by the dairy farming system (I) and the sampling month
