The Hypothalamic Basis of Aging
Description: NARRATIVE The hypothalamus plays a fundamental role in whole-body aging, but the underlying basis and the interventional value remain to be established; thus, this project is to study the aging relevance and anti- neurodegenerative actions as well as the therapeutic significance of hypothalamic extracellular vesicles. Overall, the study represents a major milestone for developing an important strategy and target for aging- associated health problems and especially neurodegeneration and related diseases.
