Scholarcy highlights
- The progress of evolutionary biology has revealed that symbiosis played a basic role in the evolution of complex eukaryotic organisms, including humans
- Mitochondria are simplified endosymbiotic bacteria currently playing the role of cellular organelles
- Mitochondrial domestication occurred at the very beginning of eukaryotic evolution
- Mechanisms of apoptotic programmed cell death exist even in the unicellular organisms, and they play a basic role in the development of complex multicellular organisms, such as fungi, green plants, and animals
- Regulated cell death is initiated by many different parallel biochemical pathways
- Our group showed that perturbations of apoptosis in yeasts cause perturbations of oxidative respiration
