A roadmap for metabolic reprogramming of aging | KurzweilAI

A roadmap for metabolic reprogramming of aging | KurzweilAI | Longevity science | Scoop.it

To survey previously uncharted territory, a team of researchers at UW-Madison has created an “atlas” that maps more than 1,500 unique landmarks within mitochondria that could provide clues to the metabolic connections between caloric restriction and aging.

 

The map, as well as the techniques used to create it, could lead to a better understanding of how cell metabolism is rewired in some cancers, age-related diseases and metabolic conditions such as diabetes.
