In our memory are such facts as: Albany is the capital of New York; Jefferson was the third president; summer follows spring; I attended Columbus School. These facts bring up no reaction in your body.

During the World Economic Forum in Davos last week, Elon Musk called human aging a “very solvable” problem. “When we figure out what causes aging, I think we’ll find it’s incredibly obvious,” the ...

In a bid to treat blindness, Life Biosciences will try out potent cellular reprogramming technology on volunteers. When Elon Musk was at Davos last week, an interviewer asked him if he thought aging ...

The conversation around longevity is shifting. For decades, the goal was simple: live longer. But as medicine advances and populations age, a more nuanced question has emerged: how well can we live ...

In order to reprogram readily available cells into specific immune cells that fight various diseases, one must know the “recipe” for the transformation. Researchers at Lund University have now created ...
