These are wonderful stories. But most of the time big visions turn into nightmares. Remember Boston's Big Dig? Almost every sizeable city in the world has such a fiasco in its backyard. In ... |

Новата наука за това как да стареем, без да остаряваме. През 1960 г. броят на хората на възраст над 100 години е 20 хиляди. Днес е половин милион, а до 2050 г. се предвижда да стане 3 милиона, или нарастване от 150 пъти за по-малко от век. Дълго време стареенето е било възприемано като неизбежен и необратим процес, факт от живота, срещу който не можем да направим много. Болести, свързани с остаряването, са били лекувани поотделно, без да се мисли за това дали няма някаква обща причина за всички тях, някакъв ключ, който може да бъде изключен, за да се спре самият процес на стареене. Биологът и физик д-р Андрю Стийл, ... |
