Impaired mitochondrial energy metabolism and the therapeutic activity of Cu(atsm) in age and age-related neurodegenerative disease

认知功能和运动能力下降，由于高龄和疾病，如运动神经元疾病，阿尔茨海默氏症和帕金森氏症。我们已经确定了一种治疗方法，可以减轻小鼠的这些年龄和疾病症状，从而延长动物的健康寿命。该项目将研究治疗工作的机制，从而促进我们对认知和运动能力下降的原因以及预防性治疗方法的发展的理解。

Cognitive function and locomotor ability decline due to advanced age and disorders such as motor neuron disease, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. We have identified a treatment that attenuates these symptoms of age and disease in mice, thus extending the healthy lifespan of the animals. This project will investigate the mechanisms by which the treatment works, thereby advancing our understanding of the causes of cognitive and locomotor decline and the development of preventative treatments.
