The search continues for possible interventions that delay and/or reverse biological aging, resulting in extended healthspan and lifespan. Interventions delaying aging in animal models are well established; however, most lack validation in humans. For the full study, click here.
Can We Live to 200?
In the last century, the average human life expectancy doubled. Here’s a roadmap to the innovations that could help us do it again — maybe.
