Researchers at the Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute have developed a method to quantify the structural aging of tissues from a snapshot of their cellular architecture.

Longevity has become a bit of a buzz word, and has become increasingly aligned with the tech industry. But a timely report from Harvard Medical School reminds us that we have a lot of power when it comes to how we age – and it's backed by science.
