Description of the research topic:
Different organs reach their functional apex at various ages, following which their senescence begins, although with various pace and mechanism. For example the thymus begins to age right following puberty, while the central nervous system begins to decline after approx. 24 years of age and the skeletal system begins to degenerate after approx. 30 years of age. For other organs (i. e. the lungs) the time-point of functional peak is more challenging to define. However, deciphering the relevant molecular mechanisms may shed light on such macroscopic differences. Our research group (with the supervision of Prof. Judit Pongracz and Dr. Krisztian Kvell) aims to discover molecular differences responsible for desynchronized organ senescence through comparing senescence in two rather different tissues: the thymic and the pulmonary context.
