Looking to connect the dots between senescence, senolytics, inflammation, NAD, CD38, metabolism AND #aging? @singularityhub has a great writeup of @ACovarrubiasPhD recent @natmetabolism paper making these connections for the 1st time

#Biomarkers and assessing biological vs. chronological age are super important as we move toward aging therapies. @AARP dives into the issue and interviews our own @EricVerdin about modifiable vs. genetic #healthspan factors. https://www.aarp.org/health/conditions-treatments/info-2020/dna-test-biological-age.html

We'll tell you this one now so you can forget by Thanksgiving: more plants in your diet are better than fewer plants! https://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2020-11/b-gm111920.php @livebetterlonger
