Cards in this deck (16)
- 1Patridge (2014)Ageing is co-morbid to cardiovascular disease, dementia, cancer, diabetes
- 2McCay (1935)The first to show that the ageing process can be slowed down
Reduce calorie intake by 20% in rodents = decrease ageing by 20% - 3Patridge (2010)Found the same results as McCay but in primates
- 4Partridge (2014)Reducing IIS + TOR pathway activity = increase in lifespan and health in a variety of species
- 5Cohen et al. (2009)Reducing IIS pathway activity in a mouse model of Alzheimers reduced behavioural symptoms and biomarkers in the brain of the disease
- 6Ornish et al. (2013)Lifestyle changes can increase telomere length in cancer patients

- 9Kitada & Dezawa (2012)Stem cells could have a therapeutic potential for Parkinson's Disease: neural stem cells and embryonic stem cells - can protect damages tissues and can generate into dopamine neurones
- 10Yamasaki et al. (2007)Stem cells therapeutic potential for Alzheimer's Disease: neural stem cells transplanted into brain of transgenic mouse model survive, migrate, differentiate and improve memory
- 11Dodd, Jessel & Placzek (1998)The neural plate is induced by the notochord, floor plate and roof plate of the mesodermal layer
- 12Ulloa & Marti (2009)Wnt & Sonic Hedgehog are the main transcription factors in the mesoderm
