Research grant to study cellular and molecular mechanisms of aging and rejuvenation using a regenerative flatworm model, with implications for human health.
Description
This project aims to investigate the cellular and molecular mechanisms of aging and rejuvenation using the flatworm Schmidtea mediterranea as a model organism. The research focuses on understanding how age-associated damage manifests and identifying pathways that regulate cellular aging, tissue detection, and rejuvenation.
