Given that health benefits from dietary restriction are not “one size fits all,” Buck researchers pitch a new sub-specialty: precision nutrigeroscience. The detailed primer in @cell_metabolism is a must read for those interested in aging and nutrition. https://www.buckinstitute.org/news/buck-researchers-provide-a-framework-to-study-precision-nutrigeroscience/
