Theo Murphy meeting ‘The virtues and vices of protein citrullination’ organized and edited by Maria A. Christophorou, Priyanka Sharma and Xuesen Zhang

Proteins within cells can be chemically modified in response to changes in the cells’ environment and this in turn helps to regulate the appropriate cellular responses. Abnormal protein modification can lead to disease, as it alters normal cell behaviour. Citrullination is one such chemical modification, which has gained great interest because it is associated with autoimmunity, neurodegeneration and cancer progression. Increased understanding of how citrullination comes about within cells will make it possible to target it effectively in disease therapy. In this theme issue, scientists working on various facets of citrullination research have come together to contribute their latest findings and summarize current knowledge, with the aim of driving progress in this area.

This issue arises from a Royal Society Theo Murphy meeting held in October 2022.
