Research project funded by the National Institute on Aging to study cellular senescence in the brain using Drosophila, focusing on genetic pathways affecting neurons and glia relevant to aging.
Description
The project aims to uncover molecular pathways involved in cellular senescence in the brain using Drosophila as a model organism. The research involves genetic screens to identify genes that modulate senescence in neurons and glia, with potential implications for aging and age-related diseases.
