"The most prevalent human mortality risk factor, aging, seems to still be hidden in the mist, states the article summing up the survey's results that was published in the journal PNAS Nexus."
"When discussing the biology of aging with colleagues, we often assume we are talking about the same process, but clearly, we are not."
"Of course there are variations, but there is great consensus on aging, says Manuel Collado, group leader of the cell senescence, cancer and aging laboratory."
"The study aims to shake things up, but it stems from a desire to self-punish."
Aging remains poorly defined, with a recent survey revealing that experts struggle to agree on its causes, onset, and rejuvenation. At a scientific conference, only 30% of respondents shared a common view on aging, and no question received over 50% consensus. The study, published in PNAS Nexus, emphasizes the confusion surrounding aging, highlighting that no treatment has been proven to slow it in humans. Experts acknowledge the need for clarity in discussions about aging biology, indicating a significant gap in understanding.
