96th issue of the "Lettre de l'Institut Pasteur" out now!

The latest issue of the quarterly newsletter for Institut Pasteur donors - the "Lettre de l'Institut Pasteur" (LIP)  contains a special feature on aging. Recent progress in knowledge and technology means that aging mechanisms and age-related health problems can now be studied at cellular and molecular level. Considerable progress has been made in our understanding of this field in recent years.

The results coming out of research laboratories today, while still experimental, provide real hope for the possibility of slowing down the aging process or even rejuvenating some tissues.

Research in this area is becoming vitally important given the current shifts in the demographic makeup.

In January 2016, a multidisciplinary work group bringing together researchers who study the mechanisms of aging, was created at the Institut Pasteur due to the initiative of the Translational Research Center.
