Nevertheless we thought ‘Que Sera Sera…’ in a way, no researcher’s path is 100 per cent guaranteed. I think it is important for researchers to find joy in little everyday things like getting satisfying results by adding a small change. Ohsumi studied yeast cells which are very similar to human cells and found the vacoule as the centre of all action. In the case of autophagy unless you understand its principles…how and why membranes are produced within cells…you can’t hope to develop truly effective drugs. It is my basic understanding that much remains to be figured out from here on.”sudhamahi@gmail.com
