In this episode, Dr. Vera Gorbunova unpacks the secrets of nature's longest-lived species—like the naked mole rat and bowhead whale—to uncover the biological mechanisms that keep them healthier for longer. We explore the role of DNA repair, transposable elements, and epigenetics in aging and what these discoveries could mean for human longevity. From mitochondrial function to promising interventions like fucoidan, can we apply nature's blueprint to extend our own lifespan?
