FASTER, PLEASE: Cell Study Finds a Way to Slow Ravages of Age. “Most young, healthy cells divide continuously in order to keep body tissues and organs functioning properly, but eventually stop splitting—a state called senescence—and are replaced by others. Senescence occurs throughout life, but people’s ability to clear such cells from their bodies decreases with age, leading to a buildup. Researchers at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., found for the first time that by using a drug to target and kill senescent cells, they could essentially freeze some aspects of the aging process.”

No, really: Faster, please. I’m not getting any younger here . . . . And neither are you!
