From Milk to Aging: What Proteins Teach Us About Health
Scientists often need to study thousands of proteins at once…in cells, tissues, and even milk. Mass spectrometry–based proteomics is the powerful tool that makes this possible. In this installment of OSU Research on Tap, VPR Sewell will talk with Dr. Aryal about how his team applies proteomics to better understand how cells function—both under normal conditions and when they are stressed. Because proteins are essential to keeping our cells working properly, changes in their levels or behavior—whether due to aging, diet, or environmental factors—can affect how our bodies respond to stress and maintain overall health. Dr. Aryal’s research on cellular aging and age‑related diseases will illustrate how modern proteomics is uncovering new perspectives on health and disease.
