Award for research on aging patterns in cancer survivors and controls, focusing on sleep health and its relevance to Alzheimer's disease and related dementias, led by Judith E Carroll at UCLA.
Description
The project involves studying biological, cognitive, and physical aging in cancer survivors and controls, focusing on sleep health and its relation to Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. The study will assay markers of biological aging, including epigenetic age, DNA damage, cellular senescence, SASP, and leukocyte telomere length. Follow-up assessments are planned up to 48 months.
