Experimental Research into Ageing (ERA)

Start date: Jun 1, 2011, End date: May 31, 2016,

The diseases of older age are a major challenge to human societies. Despite the complexity of ageing, both reduced food intake (dietary restriction) and simple genetic alterations can greatly increase lifespan and provide broad-spectrum protection against diseases of ageing in laboratory animals. Furthermore, there is strong evolutionary conservation of mechanisms. For instance the nutrient-sensin ...

Regulation of gene expression in mammalian mitochondria (GENEMIT)

Start date: May 1, 2011, End date: Apr 30, 2016,

"The mitochondrial network produces the bulk part of the energy mammalian cells need through the oxidative phosphorylation process. The importance of mitochondria is underscored by the fact that deficient oxidative phosphorylation causes a wide number of genetic diseases. It is also heavily implicated in age-associated disease and ageing. Expression of mammalian mtDNA is of key importance for main ...
