For a steadfast group of scientists, the secret to a long life is in the lab.

By suppressing the function of a few key genes in lab worms, scientists were able to lengthen their lifespans sixfold, while also controlling the onset of many of the physical problems that beset old age. Ted Anton has spent years working with scientists at the frontier of longevity science, and offers a behind-the-scenes look at the state-of-the-art research and the impact it might have on global public health, society and even ourselves.
