Harvesting the power of a new model organism: stem cells, regeneration and ageing in Macrostomum lignano (MacModel)
Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Oct 31, 2017,
The ‘stem-cell theory’ of ageing posits that the functional decline in adult stem cells is one of the factors contributing to ageing. Importantly, the number of stem cells does not diminish with age in many tissues but rather there are intrinsic and extrinsic changes that affect their functionality. Is it possible to reverse these changes? Experiments in the emerging model Macrostomum lignano sugg ...

Role of telomeres and stem cells in ageing (ROOTS)
Start date: May 1, 2012, End date: Apr 30, 2017,
"The impact of a globally ageing population cannot be overstated. It is expected that by the year 2025 over a billion individuals will be over 60 years of age. In order to develop strategies aimed to restore and maintain function in ageing individuals, a better understanding of the molecular pathways and biological processes that are involved in ageing and age-related disorders is urgently needed. ...

MARie CuRIe AGEing Network (MARRIAGE)
Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2016,
"One of achievements of developed societies has been the remarkable extension of human lifespan. In the upcoming decades the number of Europeans with advanced age will increase dramatically. It is evident that age-associated diseases will become much more prevalent. This poses challenges for society but also opportunities for commercial enterprises that develop strategies to combat deleterious con ...

Cellular protein damage control: interactomic analyses of MOAG-4 in C. elegans (AGGREGATION)
Start date: Apr 1, 2013, End date: Mar 31, 2015,
"Several age-related neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and Huntington’s diseases, are characterized by the formation of pathogenic proteins aggregates in the brain. Although some regulators have been identified, how aggregates form during aging is poorly understood.Recently, a modifier of aggregation, MOAG-4, was identified as a positive regulator of aggregation in C. e ...
