Challenging Ageing

Since the dawn of time, ageing has been viewed as an inevitable fate, with conditions like cancer and dementia becoming more common as we get older. A growing number of scientists are questioning this common assumption. What if ageing was just another curable disease? Would there be ways to extend our lifespan from today thanks to a handful of well-targeted cellular processes and ageing biomarkers? Would premature ageing syndromes be curable? What is your biological age telling about yourselves? Are you older or younger than you think you are?
