Krishnan Lab provides groundbreaking insights into organelle chemistry

Findings of a recent publication by Dr. Krishnan and lab members Zou Mitra and Anees Palapurava reveals important observations about salt-related stress in cells

The Krishnan lab has recently published an article on Nature Biotechnology where they yield previously undiscovered factors about sodium and potassium ion movements in organelles. The findings of the study not only advance the understanding of cell response to salt-related stress but also opens new possibilities of research that can help us understand how bodies can handle high salt better. Ultimately, this study could help set new benchmarks in hypertension and blood pressure research breakthroughs..
