There are those who hate facial wrinkles and resort to a facelift; those who focus on diet or training; and those who, to stay young as age advances, train their brain. But what if the elixir of life, so as not to feel the years passing by, was kept in our immune system? What if rejuvenating our immune system gave us more years of youth? The idea seems to work, at least in laboratory mice: by rejuvenating their immune systems, they also rejuvenate many of their organs. What about humans? There are those who are trying to turn back the clock of the cells of over 65 year olds by ten years, with promising results. How do you turn back the clock of a cell or rejuvenate the immune system? What research led to these results? And what is the state of the art on the science of aging? We talk about it with Vittorio Sebastiano, professor of reproductive and stem cell biology at Stanford Medical School in California; and with Isabella Saggio, geneticist and professor of gene therapy at Sapienza University of Rome, author of “Age, if it exists. Will we all be immortal?” (The Mill, 2022). Roberta Fulci at the microphone
