Topic: genetically-encoded lineage tracing

Promoting adult neurogenesis in aging has the potential to rejuvenate neural circuits and restore associated functions. Establishing tractable models of adult neurogenesis can significantly expedite the identification of compounds and their cellular mechanisms promoting nervous system regeneration in aging. We have established the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster as an easily scalable, highly tractable and genetically conserved platform to analyze nervous system regeneration. Particularly, by developing and implementing genetically-encoded lineage tracing systems, as well as molecular and ima
