Prof. Nancy M. Bonini from the University of Pennsylvania, USA, will present at the 2nd World Congress on Targeting Longevity and talk about ‘Glial Senescence, Mitochondrial Dysfunction, and Lipid metabolism in the Aging Brain’.

Summary: 

Using the model organism Drosophila, the laboratory studies the aging brain. 

The work has shown that neuronal mitochondrial dysfunction drives glial senescence and senescent glia drive lipid droplet formation. 

Fly genetics is being employed to uncover pathways and mechanisms to protect neurons and prevent senescence.
