More information
Maintaining and extending the healthy lifespan is one of the central concerns and goals of aging research. While healthy aging has offered people and societies many new opportunities, it is undisputed that aging is a key risk factor for late-onset diseases. At the level of cells, aging brings about multiple interconnected defects. Pathological and ‘normal’ aging overlap. Several pathways or mechanisms are currently discussed (e.g., Lopez-Otin, 2013 in Cell). The conference aims to bring together experts from China and Germany to discuss such issues.
