Humans are born with all the nerve cells they will ever have. 2 million mitochondria live in each cell but as they age are systematically removed & replaced with newer models. Chantell Evans, PhD, wants to know more about this process. @DukeU @DukeHealth

Incredible review at @jbiolchem by our postdoc Nate Snyder on deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBS), the erasers of the ubiquitin signal. As many DUBs are cysteine enzymes, they can be highly regulated under oxidative stress playing important signaling functions #JBCreviews #ubiquitin
