All of us would like to live longer, or to slow the debilitating effects of age.
In “How We Age,” Coleen Murphy shows how recent research on longevity and aging may be bringing us closer to this goal.
Murphy, a leading scholar of aging, explains that the study of model systems, particularly simple invertebrate animals, combined with breakthroughs in genomic methods, have allowed scientists to probe the molecular mechanisms of longevity and aging.
