Glycomics based biomarkers of the rate of aging: Development and applications of high throughput N-glycan analysis
Renée Ruhaak | 24-03-2011 | Glycomics based biomarkers of the rate of aging: Development and applications of high throughput N-glycan analysis Markers for longevity, which reflect the health condition and predict healthspan are extremely scarce. Such markers are, however, valuable in aging research. Protein [...]
Genetic Determinants of Healthy Longevity
Simon Mooijaart| 04-12-2007 | Genetic Determinants of Healthy Longevity Lifespan in under genetic control. In this thesis we translated genes regulating lifespan in model organisms to humans. First we identified DAF-12 as a critical gene for lifespan regulation in the nematode worm C. elegans. [...]
A Study into Genes Encoding Longevity in Humans
Maris Kuningas | 04-12-2007 |A Study into Genes Encoding Longevity in Humans The lifespan of an organism is determined by a complex network of environmental-, genetic- and stochastic factors. Each of these components contributes to the wide variability in lifespan between and within species. In [...]
