Leiden research program on ageing

Experimental Gerontology

Abstract

Research into ageing is among the priorities of the Leiden University Medical Center. Several tight collaborations between basic and clinical departments are the basis of this program. Our focus is to identify determinants of human longevity and disease at old age with an emphasis on inflammation, atherosclerosis, and cognitive decline. To this end we enroll a large series of long-lived families for genetic screening, prospectively follow large cohorts of old people dependent on various genetic and environmental risk factors, and perform randomized controlled trials in the general population testing plausible hypotheses how interventions can maximize rewarding lifespans.

Alzheimer's Disease: Genetics

Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative disease. Discover genetic and epigenetic aspects of Alzheimer’s disease, including genetic markers and genomic structural variations with this feed.

Age-related Dementia

Dementias are a group of conditions, including Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, and frontotemporal dementia, characterized by deficiencies in cognitive abilities. Age-related dementia refers to dementias that occur in older individuals, usually 60+ years old, in contrast to early-onset dementia. Follow the latest research on age-related dementia here.

Aging Epidemiology

This feed focuses on epidemiology of aging and aging-related conditions, including Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, and age-associated cognitive impairment. Here is the latest research.
