Aliquot #103: The Future of Aging Therapeutics, Part 2
In part I of this two-part series on the future of aging research, we discussed the hallmarks of aging and the cutting-edge therapies aimed at understanding and manipulating the complex processes underlying these hallmarks, including epigenetic aging clocks and pluripotent stem cells. Beyond these advancements, scientists envision more futuristic possibilities, such as stem cell transplantation, intravenous delivery of soluble blood factors that extend longevity, and parabiosis.
