The phenomenon known as gene expression, or how genes turn “on” and “off” over the course of your lifetime, lies at the core of the aging process. Restoring youthful gene expression is vital to extending healthy life span. Avant-garde scientists talk about the latest strategies for reprogramming genes and boosting longevity.
