Ameliorating ageing, age-related diseases and cancer by targeting senescence and the p53 pathway

Ageing is a process defined by the accumulation of old (senescent) cells in tissues. It has been shown that senescent cells interfere with the normal functions of most organs and thus lead to the phenotypic changes associated with ageing, as well as the establishment of age-related diseases.

Nuclear and transcriptional dysregulations during cellular senescence

Cellular senescence, which is characterised by a proliferation arrest, is a driver of ageing (1). Several stresses can induce cellular senescence, including persistent DNA damage, telomere dysfunction, and oncogene activation. Read more

Cellular senescence: investigating a novel hijack target of the typhoid pathogen Salmonella Typhi

Background and Timeliness. The world faces epidemics of antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) typhoid fever caused by Salmonella Typhi that underlies 12 million cases / 129 000 deaths each year. Read more

BBSRC NLD Doctoral Training Partnership: Critical evaluation of mitophagy, mitochondrial dysfunction and senescence axis

Many types of cells become senescent as a response to a variety of stressors, and show distinct senescence phenotype such as persistent DNA damage, mitochondrial dysfunction, increased levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and pro-inflammatory cytokine. Read more

The Environmental Drivers of DNA methylation and Senescence: An Experimental Test in Wild Mice

  Research Group: Institute of Ecology & Evolution
Summary. Why do we senesce? Lifestyle appears to accelerate the ageing process in humans, but we know much less about the stressors that cause age-related declines in wild animals. Read more

NERC E4 The Environmental Drivers of DNA methylation and Senescence: An Experimental Test in Wild Mice

  Research Group: Institute of Ecology & Evolution
Summary. Why do we senesce? Lifestyle appears to accelerate the ageing process in humans, but we know much less about the stressors that cause age-related declines in wild animals. Read more

(BBSRC DTP) How does ageing affect protein homeostasis and structure?

The World Health Organisation estimates that by 2050, there will be two billion people aged 60 and above. Despite this remarkable progress in extending human life, health issues specific to the ageing body can severely limit the quality of life and well-being of the elderly. Read more
