Ageing studies in five animals suggests how to reverse decline
"Ageing seems to affect cellular processes in the same way across five very different kinds of life — humans, fruit flies, rats, mice and worms — according to a study published in Nature on 12 April. The findings could help to explain what drives ageing and offer suggestions for how to reverse it..."Well, given that ageing seems to affect cellular process across five very different kinds of life, the most obvious conclusion is that defeating the process has some unavoidable, bad tradeoffs.  I mean, I'm 55 years old and not looking forward to dying, but let's be realistic here: we're not going to "reverse" ageing.  Evolution has had billions of years to do it, and for whatever reason the conclusion is that either it's not possible, or the cost is not worth it.  I don't think we are smarter than evolution, in this regard.
