The Importance of p38 MAPK Signalling in Aging-Related Ischaemic Intolerance and Failed Cardioprotection

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Ischaemic heart disease is the leading cause of death in Australia, and will rise in coming years with the aging of our population. Our research shows aged hearts become less resistant to damage during ischaemia-heart attack, and insensitive to normally beneficial therapies. This project will identify molecular changes responsible for these changes. By understanding how age impairs the hearts defences, it may be possible to improve therapy of ischaemic heart disease in older patients.
