Brain Rejuvenation Factors From Blood
Brain aging results in cognitive decline and is the major cause of neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, vascular dementia and stroke. My research team discovered that circulatory factors in blood from young mice or humans are capable of reversing aspects of brain aging in aged mice at the molecular, cellular, physiological and functional level. These […]

A Cell and Molecular Approach to Research into the Biological Basis of the Human Condition
What sets humans apart from other organisms? That is a question that fascinates many scientists. Recently, we have determined high-quality genome sequences from Neandertals, the closest evolutionary relatives of present-day humans. This has enabled us to identify genetic changes in the human genome that all or almost all present-day humans share, no matter where they […]
