Title]Exploring long-lived cellular components for neural plasticity and brain aging

　　　　
Speaker]Prof. Tomohisa Toda （Max-Planck-Center, Germany）

Ageing is one of the major risk factors for neurological and psychiatric disorders. However, the biological links between physiological ageing and pathological development remain largely unknown. To address this issue, our group has been investigating the role of nuclear structural proteins, such as lamins and nucleoporins, in the brain. In addition, we have explored long-lived cellular components and uncovered that some of RNAs that do not turnover in the mouse brain for two years. Our findings suggest that LL-RNAs play a key role in in maintaining the function of long-lived somatic stem cells.

Thus, Dr. Toda has been conducting pioneering research on brain aging. He has also recently discovered that RNA is stable in the brain. We hope you will take advantage of this valuable seminar opportunity.
