PublicationEngulfment by macrophages is critical for waste clearance in the vertebrate brain. Understanding clearance mechanisms may open new therapeutic possibilities to counter brain aging and neurodegenerative diseases. However …
-
PublicationMapping behavior of individual vertebrate animals across lifespan could provide an unprecedented view into the lifelong process of aging. We created a platform for high-resolution continuous behavioral …
-
PublicationThe immune system could play an important role in the age-related decline in brain function, yet specific immune-based strategies to enhance brain resilience in older individuals …
-
PublicationMost adult organs contain regenerative stem cells, often organized in specific niches. Stem cell function is critical for tissue homeostasis and repair upon injury, and it is dependent …
-
PublicationAging is the single largest risk factor for most chronic diseases, and thus possesses large socioeconomic interest to continuously aging societies. Consequently, the field of aging research is …
-
PublicationHuman ageing is associated with high susceptibility to disease. Some aspects of ageing can be studied directly in humans and have revealed that ageing is influenced by many …
-
PublicationAging has a profound and devastating effect on the brain. Old age is accompanied by declining cognitive function and enhanced risk of brain diseases, including cancer and neurodegenerative …
-
PublicationThe mammalian brain contains neurogenic niches that comprise neural stem cells and other cell types. Neurogenic niches become less functional with age, but how they change during ageing …
