Next generation biotech could allow 200 years to live in the coming years.

I think that many would be interested in lengthening their lives, provided they can still enjoy it, that they remain healthy and ideally young as well ». And the search for senolithic drugs, which slow down the processes of cellular senescence to delay the appearance of diseases typical of the elderly, is precisely the direction towards which many laboratories are being directed to. The European Commission is investing resources in research and innovation projects dedicated to the management of aging.
