Intra- and Intercellular Mechanisms of Aging 20B2

Intra- and Intercellular Mechanisms of Aging Organizer(s): Malene Hansen, Johan Auwerx and Heinrich Jasper Date: February 09 - 13, 2020 Location: Fairmont Hotel Vancouver, Vancouver, BC, Canada Sponsored by Astellas Pharma Inc. and Cell Research For important information on the coronavirus, please click here Summary of Meeting: Over the past three decades, studies have highlighted numerous cell-autonomous mechanisms that contribute to organismal aging. Specifically, changes in many genes, pathways, biomolecules and organelles have been shown to affect aging in a number of model organisms in a conserved fashion. However, it has become increasingly clear that these intracellular mechanisms are complemented by cell non-autonomous signaling events to influence aging on a tissue and organismal level. Understanding how an initial deregulation of intracellular functions are likely communicated to other cells, tissues, or organs to thereby impact the lifespan and healthspan of the organism will be key to our understanding of aging and age-related diseases. This conference will focus on intra- and intercellular mechanisms of aging, by highlighting current research on key cell-autonomous mechanisms such as DNA, protein and mitochondrial homeostasis, as well as inter-tissue signaling events relevant to aging and age-related diseases, in particular neurodegenerative disorders.

Understanding how an initial deregulation of intracellular functions are likely communicated to other cells, tissues, or organs to thereby impact the lifespan and healthspan of the organism will be key to our understanding of aging and age-related diseases.
