Campus Stem Cell Lab meeting, Tuesday, April 30
Sue Gilbert
Next week, Tuesday, April 30, is the last talk of this semester for our Campus Stem Cell Lab meeting series. We will start at noon promptly. We will continue to provide sandwiches and chips starting at 11:40 am (water will be provided but if you want something else to drink please bring your own.) We will be back in The Wisconsin Institutes of Discovery (WID) for these. We will be meeting in the H.F. Deluca Forum in the Town Center on the first floor. Please ask at Information Desk if you are unsure where to go.
Date: Tuesday, April 30
Speaker: Heinrich Jasper, Professor, Buck Institute for Research on Aging, University of Southern California
Title: Age-related Stem Cell Dysfunction in Barrier Epithelia -- Strategies for Intervention
Abstract: In aging and diseased tissues, regeneration and regenerative therapies are limited by stem cell dysfunction and unfavorable tissue environments. We study stem cells and tissue repair in barrier epithelia and the retina of Drosophila and mice to explore the causes and consequences of age-related regenerative dysfunction. These studies have led to the discovery of interventions targeting age-related inflammation, stem cell proliferation, stem cell metabolism, innate immune responses, and the commensal microbiota as strategies to enhance regeneration and extend lifespan. I will discuss these strategies and provide perspectives for the development of targeted interventions to improve tissue function in the elderly.
