Ageing and Associated Diseases

Objectives

– Determination of oxidative stress and inflammation parameters associated with healthy aging, frailty, and age-associated diseases
– Determination of genetic biomarkers (microRNAs, mRNAs,and SNPs) associated with healthy aging, frailty, and age-associated diseases
– Determination of epigenetic biomarkers associated with healthy aging, frailty, and age-associated diseases
– Determination of metabolomic biomarkers associated with healthy aging, frailty, and age-associated diseases
– Protocols of physical exercise and other healthy life interventions for the treatment and prevention of frailty

Research Lines

– Biomarkers of aging
– Mechanisms of aging with special attention to exceptional aging: centenarians
– Healthy aging: frailty and prevention of disability
– Intervention for successful aging: physical exercise, nutrition, molecular interventions (extracellular vesicles)
– Age-associated diseases: cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases
– Mitochondrial implications in age-associated frailty
– Skeletal muscle repair, exercise, frailty, and sarcopenia
– Regenerative medicine in aging and age-associated diseases
