To Give Mahoney Lecture On Aging, Sept. 25 in Masur By Doug Dollemore Mother Nature is smarter than some scientists suspect. Take aging, for instance.
Biologists often underestimate nature.
Aging was the same way. Many people considered aging to be an inevitable, passive process caused by the gradual corrosion of cellular components over time. The hourglass runs, and then it stops. For some years, I have felt that this view might be too simplistic, and that the aging process might be subject to regulation. To prove it, she has generated a slew of fundamental research that, in the next few decades, may help scientists determine if human aging can be slowed down through genetic alteration.
