Explore the fascinating world of metabolites and their potential role in treating Alzheimer's disease, aging, and long-COVID in this 49-minute lecture by Priyanka Joshi at The Royal Institution. Discover how these small molecules influence protein structure and function within cells and tissues, and learn about their implications for maintaining life and extending healthspan. Gain insights into the biophysics of protein aggregation, metabolism, and aging, as well as the molecular underpinnings of healthy aging and age-related neurodegenerative diseases. Delve into cutting-edge research on calorie restriction-mediated lifespan extension and the connection between metabolite homeostasis and protein homeostasis. Presented by Dr. Joshi, a Research Fellow and Lecturer at UC Berkeley and co-founder of NeuroAge Therapeutics, this lecture offers a comprehensive look at the latest advancements in understanding and potentially treating Alzheimer's disease through metabolite research.
