Autophagy increases with age and obesity to protect against cellular damage and age-related disease [ 1/1/2021 - 12/31/2023 ]

Research Grant

Brief description Waste recycling is a normal process through which cells clear unwanted material to maintain good health. There are some conditions that are associated with impaired waste recycling in cells (such as dementia), which make this process relevant to lifelong health. We have developed a new test that will, for the first time, enable accurate measurement of the recycling process 'in action' in humans, and may identify people who have poor cellular health.
