Dolphin study could lead to strategies for slowing down human aging – Inverse
A new study involving US Navy dolphins shows how their varying aging patterns can inform human medicine in the future.
Aging leaves no one behind,
but humans all experience the process differently, based on genetics and lifestyle factors.
Conversely, dolphins used by the US Navy tend to exist within a pretty uniform set of circumstances diet and habitat are roughly the same for all individuals. Because these aquatic mammals experience aging in a way similar to humans, the Navy dolphins were recently selected as the subjects of a new long-term aging study. The far-future goal: Delay the process of human aging…
