Welcome back to VitaDAO’s monthly longevity research newsletter — we hope you enjoyed our maiden issue!

Welcome Vitalians to the inaugural issue of VitaDAO’s Monthly Longevity Research Newsletter!

Humans can instinctively recognize if someone appears older or younger than their age; so then, it should be apparent that many species, including humans, develop age-related changes at different rates.

Originally described as gradual deterioration over time, senescence has taken on a much more intricate meaning in the past few decades.

We are getting quite good at extending lifespan, or at least we are getting quite good at extending the lifespan of laboratory animals as complex as mice.
