The importance of mTOR signaling in cardiac aging and lifespan in mammals

Description: PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: These genetic approaches will lead to fundamental insights into key regulators of longevity and determinants of health span, and that with this knowledge, pharmacologic interventions can be designed to confer similar health benefits to humans. Cardiac aging is a significant cause of late-life mortality and diastolic dysfunction is a major contributor to the physiological declines In the aging heart. The proposed studies may reveal novel therapeutic interventions for diastolic dysfunction which currently are sorely lacking.
