The extension of the duration of a healthy and active period of life has been and remains the dream of everyone. A multi-million global industry focused on improving humans, including science, is working on this task.
One of the promising directions in this field is epigenetics – the science of how a person's lifestyle, nutrition, stress level, and environment can change gene function without altering their structure. Is it possible to reprogram the body, slow down aging processes, and prolong youth? Is biohacking truly an effective tool for maintaining health – about this and much more in an interview with academician of the NAS of Ukraine Volodymyr Seminozhenko on the program "About Science. Competently," which airs on the YouTube channel of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, told the head of the Epigenetics Laboratory of the D.F. Chebotaryov Institute of Gerontology of the NAMS of Ukraine, Candidate of Biological Sciences Dmytro Krasnienkov.
