Identification Of Chromatin Regulators Perturbed In Hematopoietic Stem And Progenitor Cell Aging, Eraj S. Khokhar
Identification Of Chromatin Regulators Perturbed In Hematopoietic Stem And Progenitor Cell Aging, Eraj S. Khokhar

As lifespan is increasing globally, there is a critical need to identify strategies to extend healthspan and prevent chronic diseases into older age. The long-term goal of my research is to identify novel strategies to ameliorate aging-induced decline in hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) function. HSCs give rise to all mature blood and immune cells. With age, HSCs undergo defects in their differentiation ability which correlates with a decline in immune function. Comprehensive knowledge of gene regulatory and epigenetic mechanisms underlying this defect is a barrier to developing therapies to ameliorate aging-associated decline in HSC function. Therefore, my project focuses on …

9th Annual Postdoctoral Science Symposium, University Of Texas Md Anderson Cancer Center Postdoctoral Association
Annual Postdoctoral Science Symposium Abstracts
The mission of the Annual Postdoctoral Science Symposium (APSS) is to provide a platform for talented postdoctoral fellows throughout the Texas Medical Center to present their work to a wider audience. The MD Anderson Postdoctoral Association convened its inaugural Annual Postdoctoral Science Symposium (APSS) on August 4, 2011.
The APSS provides a professional venue for postdoctoral scientists to develop, clarify, and refine their research as a result of formal reviews and critiques of faculty and other postdoctoral scientists. Additionally, attendees discuss current research on a broad range of subjects while promoting academic interactions and enrichment and developing new collaborations.
Rejuvenation Of The Epigenetic Landscape Of The Aged Brain Through Manipulation Of Circulating Factors, Edward Koellhoffer
Rejuvenation Of The Epigenetic Landscape Of The Aged Brain Through Manipulation Of Circulating Factors, Edward Koellhoffer
Dissertations & Theses (Open Access)
The aging population of the United States is expanding at an alarming rate. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that the population of those age 65 years and older will reach over 50 million by 2020 and will double to 100 million by 2060. This will not only put a massive strain on national healthcare resources, but will also increase the number of those who are not able to live and function independently. It is becoming increasingly vital to understand how the brain changes with age and mechanisms to possibly protect and rejuvenate the aged brain to a …
