SUMMARY:Epigenetics: Playing with the Game of Life
DESCRIPTION: Aging is an unavoidable part of life, characterized by a progr
 essive decline in function and an increased risk of mortality. In model sys
 tems, we have learned a lot about the mechanisms of aging and are able to m
 odify health as well as lifespan by genetic, pharmacological or lifestyle i
 nterventions. Accumulated evidence links aging to epigenetic alterations wi
 th a high impact of the environment or the nutrition on health-span and dis
 eases. Given the reversible nature of epigenetic mechanisms, these pathways
  provide promising avenues for therapeutics against age-related decline and
  disease. It will be the aim in the future to transfer such results to huma
 ns.\n\nThe purpose of this meeting is to discuss aging as a modifiable risk
  factor of diseases, to promote greater communication among the world-wide 
 community of individuals engaged in aging research and to invite young stud
 ents to join this field of research.\n\nThe congress is the 9th internation
 al meeting on aging in Halle (Saale). It comprises invited talks and poster
  sessions. There are no concurrent sessions.\n\nThe symposium is co-sponsor
 ed by the Leopoldina.\n\nPhoto: stevepb – Pixabay\n\nFURTHER INFORMATION AN
