Some people call this field of science biogerontology, geroscience or longevity research. *Credits* Stent animation CC-BY BVM Medical https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Stenting_of_Coarctation_of_the_Aorta_using_a_NuMed_CP_Stent_-_BVM_Medical.webm Mice on a treadmill CC-BY Aderbal Aguiar https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxH0SBjteuc Atherosclerosis progression diagram CC-BY YitzhakNat https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Artery_with_atherosclerosis_progression.png Neutrophil diagram CC0 Mrmw https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:NeutrophilerAktion.svg *And finally…* Follow me on Twitter https://twitter.com/statto Follow me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/andrewjsteele Like my page on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/DrAndrewSteele Follow me on Mastodon https://mas.to/@statto Read my book, _Ageless: The new science of getting older without getting old_ https://ageless.link/
