Scientific publications
We are aware that basic knowledge about the process of aging is essential to develop novel anti-aging therapies. Understanding why we age will help us to slow down or reverse aging. For these reasons, one of our major goals is to communicate our discoveries as publications in high-quality scientific journals.
