과학은 노화를 늦출 수 있을까?

의학 전문가들은 노화의 미스테리를 풀기 시작했다. 보다 적절하게 표현하자면, 노화를 방지하여 언제나 젊음을 유지하는 방법을 발견하기 시작한 것이다. If you were a nematode in Siegfried Hekimi`s genetics lab, you would be one of the most remarkable creatures in the world. It wouldn`t be your looks that made you special, of course. As a tiny transparent worm measuring a millimeter from tip to tail, you would be nearly invisible to the naked eye. Nor would it be the way you spent your time. Moving little and eating less, you could pass all your days inside a Petri dish, resting atop a bed of nutrient. No, what would make you unique as you lived your unexceptional life would be how long you got to live it. Nematodes in Hekimi`s laboratory at Montreal`s McGill University have been known to survive for 50 days. Nematodes outside the lab survive for barely nine. A human being this long-lived would be 420 years old. 만일 당신이 지그프리드 헤키미의 유전학 연구실의 선충류 벌레라면, 당신은 세상에서 가장 주목받는 피조물의 하나가 될 것이다. 당신이 특별해지는…
