The SENS Foundation Research Center ('SENSF-RC', or simply 'RC') is our internal research laboratory, and the core of our intra-mural research efforts. The RC undertakes proof-of-concept research in rejuvenation biotechnologies which comprehensively address the disabilities and diseases of aging, repairing the damage done by the aging process at the molecular level.

SENS work on ARMD – a historical perspective
March 21, 2012 by Tanya Jones from RC Updates
In this final installment of this three-part series on Age-Related Macular Degeneration (ARMD), the historical development SENS Foundation's efforts to treat ARMD will described by LysoSENS Researcher Max Peto.
To start, our current work at the SENSF-RC mainly comes from the work of John Schloendorn during his PhD at Arizona State University under Bruce Rittman (dissertation by Schloendorn, 2009). This work was funded in part by SENS Foundation (or its predecessor, Methuselah Foundation).

Like most people around this time of year, we did a little celebrating at the SENS Foundation Research Center recently, hosting a holiday party at the lab. MitoSENS researcher Gayathri Swaminathan prepared a brief post show some of the delicacies enjoyed during the festivities.
The Biochemistry of Age-Related Macular Degeneration
December 5, 2011 by Tanya Jones from RC Updates
In our last post (Part I), SENS Foundation researcher Max Peto discussed the macro-anatomy of the human eye and how it relates to age-related macular degeneration (ARMD). In this second installment on ARMD, he’ll elaborate on the biochemistry and microstructures of the eye which relate to the development and pathogenesis of ARMD.
