Mitochondrial-Derived Peptides Aging - Prof Pinchas Cohen Ep2
Episode description
In this episode Dr Cohen talks about mitochondria, the discovery of the peptides they create and some of the benefits that they provide. It seems that the micro-proteins are also not only restricted to the mitochondria and are also made in the nucleus.
Professor Pinchas Cohen is the dean of the USC Leonard Davis School of Gerontology. He is a pioneer in the emerging science of mitochondria-derived peptides and their possible therapeutic benefits for diabetes, Alzheimer's and other diseases of aging, an area which remains the focus of his current research.
