1:45 pm Perspectives of Anti-Aging Therapy Targeting Intrinsic DNA Damage Mechanisms
Synopsis
- Explore how aging and longevity of mammals are under strict species specific genetic control
- Since accumulation of cells with damaged DNA is a likely contributor to aging, examine how intrinsic genetically determined mechanisms of DNA damage are expected to be aging drivers
- We hypothesize that activation and expansion of endogenous retroelements occupying collectively nearly half of mammalian genome (‘retrobiome’), can act as intrinsic DNA damage generator
- Discuss how Data in support of this hypothesis defines retrobiome as a prospective target for antiaging therapies will be presented.
