Role of mitochondria in aging. Mitochondria provide the cells with energy and are involved in apoptotic processes.
Impact of mitochondria for nutrition- and age related diseases
Role of the mevalonate pathway in aging. The mevalonate pathway provides the cell with indispensable lipids including cholesterol, isoprenoids, and neurosteroids.
Nutritional approaches for the prevention and therapy of nutrition- and age related diseases.
