Aliquot #102: The Future of Aging Therapeutics, Part 1
Aliquot #102: The Future of Aging Therapeutics, Part 1
Researchers in the field of aging science have identified nine hallmarks of aging – observable biological patterns of dysfunction that occur as an organism ages. Scientists are exploring a wide range of cutting-edge therapies aimed at understanding and manipulating the complex processes underlying these hallmarks, including epigenetic aging clocks and pluripotent stem cells. In this Aliquot, part I of this two-part series on the future of aging research, I present an overview of the hallmarks of aging and describe some of the recent advances in aging research.
