The quest for a “cure” for aging — a way to remain youthful, even
as we get older — is a project as old as humanity. It’s also a
big business; products, therapies and treatments intended to
moderate or reverse aging are part of a $2 trillion global
wellness market that’s only getting bigger.

But there have been some recent breakthroughs in the science of
longevity that could be pivotal for the field. These discoveries
have to do with cellular rejuvenation, which is the idea that
scientists could take a cell that has aged, and make it function
like a younger version of itself.

On this episode of “The Sunday Daily,” the host Rachel Abrams
talks with Susan Dominus, a staff writer at The New York Times
Magazine, about this new research, the scientists behind it and
who is funding this scientific quest for longer lives.

On Today’s Episode:

Susan Dominus is a staff writer at The New York
Times Magazine.

Background Reading:

Longevity Science Is Overhyped. But This Research Really Could
Change Humanity.
