Greenland Sharks’ Longevity Secret, Domestic Rabbits ’Rewilding’, Safer Gene Therapies, and Gender Bias in Longevity Research

Scientists uncover the secret to Greenland sharks' astonishing longevity. Domestic rabbits 'rewild' thanks to feral DNA. RNA offers safer and more effective gene therapies. Gender bias in labs means women are the losers in research into aging. Join us as we explore these fascinating scientific discoveries and their implications for human health and understanding of the natural world.
