Andrew Steel Ageless: The new science of getting older without getting old Ageingnot cancer, not heart diseaseis the true underlying cause of most human death and suffering. We accept as inevitable that as we advance in years our bodies and minds begin to deteriorate and that we are ever more likely to be felled by dementia or disease. But we never really askis aging necessary In Ageless, Andrew Steele, a computational biologist and science writer, takes us on a journey through the laboratories where scientists are studying every bodily system that declines with ageDNA, mitochondria, stem cells, our immune systemsand developing therapies to reverse the trend. With bellclear writing and intellectual passion, Steele shines a spotlight on a littleknown revolution already underway. After obtaining a PhD in physics from the University of Oxford, Andrew Steele decided that ageing was the most important scientific challenge of our time, and switched fields to computational biology. He worked at the Franci
