Do we not understand enough about the human body? I have heard that we don’t fully understand the mechanism behind aging and this got me wondering. I mean our body seems to be like one of the first things we’d investigate, and yet we seem to know less than I had originally thought.

It’s not that we don’t understand the causes at a high level. It’s that the high-level causes aren’t of sufficent granularity to be useful to develop therapies and treatments which can prolong life or even reverse aging. If I tell you that telomeres limit the number of times that cells can replicate themselves, what does that actually yield you in terms of actual treatments?
