Research project funded by the National Institute on Aging to study the molecular and systemic effects of caloric restriction on aging in rhesus monkeys, aiming to uncover mechanisms and networks related to aging and age-related diseases.
Description
This project investigates caloric restriction (CR) as a dietary intervention that slows aging and age-related diseases in primates, including mechanisms involving metabolism, lipid signaling, and RNA regulation. The study aims to define the molecular and systemic mechanisms of CR in primates, providing insights into aging biology and potential translational applications.
