In the context of the Longevity World Forum, which will be held on 14 and 15 November in Barcelona, the specialised journal Acta Sanitaria has published an interview with IRB Barcelona researcher Manuel Serrano. “We want to understand how tissues respond to damage (and the word damage includes aging, degenerative diseases and cancer),” says the scientist.
