Brief summary: This study investigates the role of SUMOylation in adrenal development and functionThe murine adrenal cortex is a constantly self-renewed endocrine organ composed of concentric zones, including the outermost zona glomerulosa (zG) producing mineralocorticoids and the innermost zona fasciculata (zF) producing glucocorticoids. According to the centripetal migration model occurring during postnatal development, progenitor cell populations loca...

Nature 2020; 583: 596–602https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-020-2499-yIn order to understand the cellular processes that underlie ageing, the authors performed plasma proteomics at 10 different ages across the lifespan of the mouse. They integrated these data with a parallel large study published alongside this paper in the same edition (1), which describes the ‘Mouse ...
