    I don’t even mean Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia. Your brain cells only have a certain lifespan and most of them don’t regenerate. Some can regenerate, but eventually the brain just can’t keep repairing itself. Pathways break down. Can stem cells fix that? Maybe. I haven’t heard anything about it.

    I do hear there are some possible solutions out there to the other major aging issue- telomeres.
