Project objective

Elucidation of the biological mechanisms that govern ageing can facilitate the discovery of evolutionarily conserved factors, which denominate physiological deterioration in humans. Here we will study the effect of insulin/insulin like growth factor signalling (IIS), shown to delay ageing in several organisms, on age-related memory impairment (AMI). We will use both C. elegans and Drosophila as experimental platforms, to test evolutionarily conservation of findings. Longevity combined with memory experiments will be applied in several IIS mutants. We will dissect IIS to find putative mediators of IIS effects on cognitive function. To identify relative mechanisms we will measure activity of known AMI regulators in IIS mutants. Depending on our results, our study will expand on transcription profiling worms and flies IIS mutants of different ages. Neuronal genes differentially affected by IIS will be further studied. We will use novel imaging techniques to characterize morphological changes that occur through ageing in the nervous system. This study is a first step to identify universal mechanisms that underlay cognitive function decline. Pharmacological manipulation of such mechanisms could delay AMI in humans.

For instance: the website url (it has not provided by EU-opendata yet), the logo, a more detailed description of the project (in plain text as a rtf file or a word file), some pictures (as picture files, not embedded into any word file), twitter account, linkedin page, etc.

Send me an email (fabio@fabiodisconzi.com) and I put them in your project's page as son as possible.

Thanks. And then put a link of this page into your project's website.
