On February 2, 2022, Naturepublished research co-authored by AFAR grantees Matt Kaeberlein, PhD, and Daniel Promislow, PhD, outlining how a new study from The Dog Aging Projectwill observe aging processes in dogs to see how potential findings could translate to aging research in humans. AFAR has spotlighted the innovative Dog Aging Project in recent webinars with Prevention magazine and the Nathan Shock Centers Coordinating Center.
The study was also highlighted in a recent interview in Longevity Technology.
