How yeast is reshaping ideas on ageing

This feature was written by Becky Allen for the Annual 51在线 Report 2019-2020.

Healthy ageing is one of society鈥檚 most pressing concerns, but basic questions like why we age remain a mystery. Dr Jon Houseley, a group leader in the Institute鈥檚 Epigenetics programme, studies the ways in which yeast cells adapt to new environments. As well as uncovering new connections between adaptation and ageing, his research is challenging our ideas about ageing itself.
