"The knowledge that every ambition is doomed to frustration at the hands of a skeleton have never prevented the majority of human beings from behaving as though death were no more than an unfounded rumor."Aldous HuxleyAging, or senescence, is the major cause of suffering, disease, and death in Western civilization. Gerontology, also called biogerontology, is the science that studies the aging process to prevent age-related disease and degeneration, preserve health, and prolong human life. senescence.info aims to highlight the importance of research on aging and give an overview of current knowledge on the biology and genetics of aging, including anti-aging therapies, models and theories of aging. The most ambitious, even if distant, goal of gerontological research is to make aging optional, to cure aging, and the implications of a massive increase in human lifespan due to scientific breakthroughs are also discussed.senescence.info is aimed at a vast audience and includes tutorials for the non-specialist. Though of course my personal points of view are more prevalent, I try to mention different perspectives even if I do not agree with them. senescence.info and its associated resources were highlighted in Science Magazine.
