The research group ERC-Sulfaging investigates the connection between ageing processes and so-called gasotransmitter signalling. The researchers focus on the signal transmission in cells via hydrogen sulfide.

In this young field of research, the researchers want to decode the exact mechanisms of hydrogen sulfide actions, for example with the help of worms. Their work on metabolic biochemistry provides important insights, for example for a better diagnosis and treatment of age-related diseases in the future. For this purpose, the European Research Council (ERC) has awarded Dr habil. Miloš Filipović the Consolidator Grant.

Sulfaging has received funding from the European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (grant agreement No. 864921).

Hydrogen Sulfide: The Surprising Molecule That Regulates Life's Vital Functions & Fights Aging

Hydrogen sulfide is considered highly toxic. Nevertheless, the foul-smelling gas fulfills many vital functions in our cells. As a gasotransmitter, for example, it can transmit signals within and between cells. But hydrogen sulfide also plays an important role in the oxygen supply in the blood – as researchers led by Dr habil Miloš Filipović at ISAS recently discovered.

Hydrogen Sulfide: Is This Foul Compound a Fountain of Youth?

What role does hydrogen sulfide play in ageing processes? How does the foul gas affect normal brain function? Dr habil. Miloš Filipović and his team at ISAS are investigating these questions.

Differences are Critical

What do sex-specific differences mean for health research? What role do they play in applied basic research? Five ISAS scientists with different research focuses have an answer to these questions.

Welcome to Wormland: Dunja Petrovic Studies Ageing Processes in Humans

The life cycle of the nematode C. elegans only lasts up to three weeks. This is makes it the perfect model organism for Dunja Petrovic, who is investigating the influence of hydrogen sulfide on ageing.
