Aging and Mechanisms of Aging - Related Disease (E2)

Aging and Mechanisms of Aging - Related Disease (E2) is organized by Keystone Symposia on Molecular and Cellular Biology and would be held during May 15 - 19, 2017 at Pacifico Yokohama, Yokohama, Kanagawa, Japan.

This conference will capture the cutting - edge front of this exciting field of science, covering essential aspects of aging / longevity research, including critical signaling pathways and regulators, inter - tissue communication, stem cells, stress and damage responses, cellular senescence, physiological rhythms, human genetics and mental well - being (happiness).

As aging is a systemic phenomenon, it is important to address various layers of the aging / longevity - controlling hierarchy, particularly focusing on metabolic regulation, including mitochondria, NAD+, oxidative stress, inflammation, protein homeostasis, autophagy and many other age - associated pathophysiologies.

There is a growing body of evidence that our modern lifestyle, such as the heavy use of blue light in smart phones and tablet computers, affects physiological rhythms and metabolism, promoting age - associated diseases such as obesity, diabetes, cancer and depression.
