En este episodio, exploramos el enigma del envejecimiento. Analizamos las causas biológicas detrás del envejecimiento y descubrimos cómo las células, los telómeros, y otros factores determinan la longevidad. También analizamos ejemplos sorprendentes de la naturaleza, desde la medusa inmortal hasta la rata topo desnuda, que desafían el proceso natural del envejecimiento. ¿Es posible detener o incluso revertir el envejecimiento?
