Vimentin aggregates

downin mice1

1 study
  1. CALU decreases vimentin aggregates in mice.

    “calumenin collaborates with the TRiC complex to facilitate proper vimentin folding and recruits the chaperonin subunit Chaperonin Containing TCP1 Subunit 2 (CCT2) to degrade misfolded vimentin aggregates.”

Cellular senescence

downin mice1

1 study
  1. CALU inhibits cellular senescence in mice.

    “A fibroblast-specific knockout of calumenin promotes the accumulation of vimentin aggregates and profibrotic factors migracytosis, exacerbating fibroblast senescence and lung aging.”
