How do we age, and can we control aging? Answering these fundamental questions is an important challenge of life science research in the 21st century. While rapid progress has been made in aging research, we still have a limited understanding of the dimensions, modalities, and entities of aging as a biological phenomenon, some define it as a disease.
This symposium aims to share and discuss the latest findings in aging research. Recent aging research takes advantage of integrated approaches combining multiple state-of-art technologies, such as metabolic analysis, single-cell sequencing, multimodal imaging, and genetics using diverse animal models. These technologies are applied on a wide variety of biological events, including cellular senescence, brain function, immune response, inter-organ communication, and lifespan regulation. We hope this symposium will stimulate discussions in determining the next outstanding questions and new breakthroughs in aging research.
