Sci. Aging Knowl. Environ., 9 January 2002 NEWS SYNTHESISGrowing Old in StyleFor turtles and trees, getting old doesn't necessarily mean relentless deteriorationMitch Leslie http://sageke.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/full/sageke;2002/1/ns1Abstract: Wrinkled and sluggish, turtles rarely inspire envy. Yet turtles and some kinds of trees, fishes, whales, and hydras might age at a glacial pace--or perhaps not at all. Scientists are just beginning to explore the latter possibility, and so far they can't say whether aging stops or just slows drastically. In any case, discovering how these Methuselah organisms resist the ravages of time might help us curtail our own aging.
