José Luis Nieto TorresUncovering the molecular secrets of aging
Dr José Luis Nieto Torres, CEU UCH lecturer and lead researcher of the Cellular Repair and Rejuvenation (Re2Cel) research group, has recently been awarded competitive research funding from the Fundación Ramón Areces. His new research project seeks to find a possible relationship between two processes associated with aging: the decrease in autophagic activity, i.e., the cellular recycling process, and the uncontrolled activity of LINE-1 retrotransposons, which damages DNA and leads to inflammatory responses which can cause a range of diseases. José Luis Nieto Torres has appeared in the last three editions of the World's Top 2% of Scientists, a ranking of the most cited scientists in the world created by the University of Stanford.
