Scientists Unlocking Genetic Codes To Slow Aging Process
Researchers at the Buck Institute for Age Research in Novato are combining genetic research in microscopic organisms with knowledge of the human genome to develop new insights into the aging process. Scientists have coined a new term -- geroscience -- to describe the interdisciplinary approach to the study of age-related disease.
