Cellular
Aging
and
Metabolism
Symposium
2024

A Coruña
Spain
22-24 July

 

Overview

Cellular metabolism encompasses the biochemical reactions within cells that produce energy and maintain essential functions. Aging involves the gradual decline in physiological function and increased vulnerability to disease.

 

Metabolism plays a significant role in aging, with factors like oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction contributing to cellular damage and dysfunction over time.

Additionally, cellular senescence, a state of irreversible cell cycle arrest, is closely linked to aging and can be influenced by metabolic changes.

Moreover, the ability of tissues to regenerate declines with age, partly due to alterations in metabolic processes.

Understanding this relationship is vital for developing strategies to promote healthy aging, combat age-related diseases, and enhance tissue regeneration.
