Do we really know what aging is?
Channel: Lifespan News
Date: 2021-06-11

A pre-print paper critiques the hallmarks of aging, saying that despite their central role in longevity research since 2013, they don’t provide a proper explanatory framework for aging. In this episode, we explain the criticisms and the paper's proposal for an alternative paradigm that would have the explanatory power to unify aging research and guide longevity interventions.
