    I hope that I'm in as good shape physically & mentally as DVD when I hit 100. 🙏

    That's not just a pipedream for me because my mother was 101 when she passed but she was a total wreck at that age both physically & mentally. It was hard to watch her deteriorate in that way & I definitely don't want to go out like that!🤦

    Well, I've got another 25 yrs to find out how that turns out. 🤔

  11. Our magnum opus on everything related to #aging (at least from our point of view) with the title “Biomarkers of aging: from molecules and surrogates to physiology and function” is out now in in Physiological Reviews, publications of the American Physiological Society (currently still as a preprint - #openaccess, i.e. everybody can freely download and read the article)! Hopefully written in a manner that is accessible to all, including non-specialists. Great collaboration with Regula Furrer from the @biozentrum, @unibasel.

    What can you find in this review? A couple of teasers:

    1.) What is aging? An inevitable normal biological process? A disease that can be treated or even cured? In any case, aging is one of the strongest risk factors for many (mostly chronic diseases), e.g. #cancer, #neurodegeneration and #dementia or #cardiovascular pathologies.

    2.) How can aging be studied? What do genetic diseases of "accelerated aging" (e.g. #progeria (super-) #centenarians or specific geographical regions of supposed longevity (e.g. in a so-called #bluezone tell us?

    3.) How might human aging differ from that in animals? What could this mean for the study of model organisms in this field?
