Why do we age in dramatic bursts, and what can we do about it? – podcast

According to the news article, scientists have discovered that human aging is not a linear process but rather occurs in dramatic bursts, specifically around the ages of 40, 60, and 80. Professor Michael Snyder, the director of the Center for Genomics and Personalised Medicine at Stanford University, has studied this phenomenon and suggests that various biological factors, such as changes in gene expression and cellular senescence, may be the drivers behind these accelerated aging periods. The article indicates that understanding these bursts of aging could lead to potential interventions to counteract or delay the aging process. The podcast explores these findings in more detail and provides insights into the ongoing research on the complex nature of human aging.
