Approaching the Second Half of Life with Health and Vitality - Research on Longevity and Aging

Explore groundbreaking genetics research on longevity and aging in this 54-minute Stanford University lecture. Delve into the potential for slowing or reversing human aging as genetics professor Anne Brunet, PhD, discusses declining fertility, cognitive function, and age-related diseases. Examine how genes, environmental factors, and stem cells influence the aging process, with a focus on neural stem cells and brain aging. Learn about ongoing research initiatives, including studies on insulin pathways, screening for longevity, and the effects of exercise on aging. Consider ethical implications and the future of aging research, including reprogramming techniques and new model organisms. Gain insights into potential longevity products and benefits, as well as the interaction between information and insulin in the aging process.
