Gerophysics: Physics-Based Descriptions of Aging (opens in new tab)

Researchers here report on a recent conference focused on bringing the viewpoint of the physics community to the study of aging. This is largely a matter of building models of aging for a variety of purposes, such as breaking down aging into different conceptual components to make more sense of the observed, somewhat confusing range of outcomes in different species, better predicting which classes of intervention may be most effective in the treatment of aging, or better understanding which a...
