From novel discovery to anti-aging therapy

Jen A. Miller — Thu, 08 Feb 2024 12:30:37 +0000

Major scientific breakthroughs are often dismissed as “novel” discoveries. This is especially true in fundamental biology. It’s hard to fathom the importance of something if its real-world applications are not readily apparent. And it’s even harder when dealing with a topic that isn’t well understood in the first place. Take, for example, the groundbreaking work...
