Translating Basic Biology of Aging Into Treatments to Increase Human Healthspan - Translational strategies and challenges

Sep 29, 2026

Upload by Aran

Focuses on translating basic biology of aging into therapies that increase human healthspan, emphasizing proteostatic mechanisms in mitochondria to enhance stress resistance and slow aging. Prioritizes skeletal muscle to mitigate age-associated sarcopenia and applies stable-isotope approaches suited to pre-clinical models and human studies. Highlights the use of D2O to quantify synthesis of proteins, DNA, and RNA across cells, yeast, C. elegans, rodents, canines, and humans, covering training, reverse-translation, and recruitment and retention challenges.
