Aging and Disease

Celine discusses how targeting the biological processes of aging could impact diseases like cancer and osteoarthritis, as evidenced by a study showing delayed onset of these diseases in calorically restricted dogs. James adds that pharmacological approaches, such as the use of rapamycin, can mimic the effects of caloric restriction, potentially extending lifespan and improving health in mice. Together, they explore the interconnectedness of age-related diseases and the promising avenues for future research.
