Hallmarks of Aging
Featuring: Dr. Nicole Ehrhart
Aging can be defined as the accumulation of small amounts of damage in our bodies across our lifetimes. In this episode, we talk with Dr. Nicole Ehrhart about the hallmarks of aging: nine cellular and molecular mechanisms of aging that are shared among all humans and are considered to be the drivers of aging. We discuss how aging relates to regenerative medicine and cancer, how dogs might be the key to understanding human aging, and how CSU’s Center for Healthy Aging is poised to respond to the global aging crisis.
