Sean Carrol has a interesting podcast episode (and transcript) related to this type of research for those who are interested. Episode 16: Coleen Murphy on Aging, Biology, and the Future: https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/podcast/2018/10/01/episode-16-coleen-murphy-on-aging-biology-and-the-future/ https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/podcast/2018/10/01/epis... > Aging — everybody does it, very few people actually do something about it. Coleen Murphy is an exception. In her laboratory at Princeton, she and her team study aging in the famous C. Elegans roundworm, with an eye to extending its lifespan as well as figuring out exactly what processes take place when we age. In this episode we contemplate what scientists have learned about aging, and the prospects for ameliorating its effects — or curing it altogether? — even in human beings.
