Redox signalling in response to endogenous reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation in a variety of cell and translational models particularly in skeletal muscle during exercise and ageing but also including neuronal dysfunction, myopathy, chronic heart failure. Applying redox proteomic techniques to identify redox relays for signaling pathways, mitochondrial dysfunction in a variety of diseases, regulation of autophagy through redox modifications, microRNAs as potential therapeutic reagents, Post translational modifications of proteins in relation to oxidative and reductive stress. We use the nematode C. elegans as a model
