Why do we age & how can we avoid it? 🧓 | "Good question" on aging & regeneration research
Wrinkled skin, reduced eyesight, a weaker immune system: Why does our body change as we grow older? And do we have ways of slowing down or even stopping this process in the future? In our “Gute Frage” we set out in search of answers.
We talk to a scientist who is researching axolotls – amphibians that can regenerate organs and limbs. Can their abilities be transferred to humans? We also ask the experts in this episode about new approaches to cancer treatment and the desire for eternal life.
