Aging and longevity: scientific literature explained

Extend the healthy and active years of human life into old age, delay aging, increase longevity: these are some of the oldest human dreams. Since the 1990s, a fast-growing number of scientists, entrepreneurs, or investors have dedicated their work to bringing the aging process into light and to exploring the possibilities of delaying, stopping or reversing it. Today, science is offering broadened knowledge and many promising opportunities, driven by the convergence of nano- and biotechnology, IT and cognitive sciences. You can find here tutorials and reviews on the different aspects of the fight against aging.

 

The mission of Long Long Life is to make knowledge available to all, in order to give everyone the possibility to choose longevity.
