Nutrient Impact Analysis on PGC1a Activity
IntelliYeast Laboratories Inc is exploring the relationship between nutrient intake and the activity of the longevity factor PGC1a. This project aims to investigate how different nutrients influence PGC1a activity, which plays a crucial role in cellular energy metabolism and longevity. The team will conduct a series of controlled experiments using yeast models to measure changes in PGC1a activity when exposed to various nutrients. By applying their classroom knowledge of biochemistry and molecular biology, learners will gain hands-on experience in experimental design, data collection, and analysis. The project will provide insights into the potential for dietary interventions to enhance longevity through modulation of PGC1a activity.
