It's also faster and easier. It's faster because it's shorter (2k vs 5k). It's easier because 'abstract format' is a tigher constraint than 'popular science story format'. (Much as Wikipedia entries are often easier than random web pages because they're constrained to a standard format.)
- sfink 7y agoWhoa! Thanks for this. The abstract makes so much more sense, and is at the same time more exciting, than the originally posted article. That article was like saying that geriatric people are observed to never go clubbing, and if you prevent young people from clubbing they mope around the house all day, so maybe if we get people to go clubbing every day they'll never grow old. The abstract is a lot more reasonable and sensible, and concludes that (lack of) nucleotide synthesis does seem to play an important role in senescence. They were able to kick things back into action with telomerase. Enforced clubbing resources bed sores. No word yet on how many additional injuries it might trigger from ill-advised breakdancing.
