Aging is associated with a large increase in the incidence of cancer. One possible cause that has not yet been investigated is that age-related cancer may be due to abnormalities in the degradation of proteins that regulate cell division. Cell division is normally controlled by oscillations in levels of several regulatory proteins, and these...

Dr. Matthew Meselson
Marine Biological Laboratory
2009 senior Scholar Award in aging
We will employ bdelloid rotifers, a group of small, entirely female freshwater invertebrates, as a new, particularly advantageous model system for investigating the processes responsible for aging -- the increase of mortality with increasing age. Initially, we will employ bdelloid rotifers to test the plausible but nevertheless questionable...
