Japan is facing at super-aging society. It is urgent agenda to keep health of aged people. The key is to understand the aging phenomenon. To understand aging, a result of temporally, genetically, and environmentally complex interactions, an integrated approach is needed. For this purpose, the research will be undertaken from three key points to understand the aging phenomenon; “brain and nerve”, “homeostasis via immune and other systems” and “metabolism”, and technologies for these studies will be developed.
