"A person’s bacteria, yeast and other tiny companions have, in recent decades, gotten an image boost. A thriving microbiome is now understood as a sign of good health, and the market for “probiotics” is thriving, though concerns have been raised about the safety and effectiveness of many over-the-counter products. But what if science could add bacteria to the body that was guaranteed to have a therapeutic effect?"
Steven Austad, PhD, UAB NSC Center Co-Director and Admin Core Co-Leader weighed in on The Washington Post article titled "Can some drugs delay aging? Scientists focus on those that target frailty and age-related disease" published on March 6, 2021.
“The goal is not to help people live forever, but help them stay healthy longer,” Dr. Austad said.
Join UAB Nathan Shock Center for its 2021 Pilot Awardees Symposium on March 10. This Symposium showcases outstanding research, over the last 5 years, from some of our awardees. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it will be in a virtual format.
