Scientists have been looking for a cure for aging for more than a hundred years, but so far it seems they haven’t found anything. Does that mean it doesn’t exist? Or maybe they’re simply searching in the wrong places? In her book, biologist and science journalist Polina Loseva plays the role of an advocate for modern science of aging and tells what gerontologists are doing today and how to correctly interpret the results they obtain. Who is to blame for our aging? What might protect us from old age: telomerase or antioxidants, hormones or diets? Biologists have not yet come to a single answer, and the reader, if they decide to move from thinking to action, will have to make their own choice. This book serves as a guide to current theories of aging—not only for biologists, but for everyone who is interested in how to help their body in its uneven fight against time.
