Why do we lose vitality as we age? And why do we seem to catch every cold going around?

At today's Vall d’Hebron #PhDDay2026, our very own Ning Huang shared how her research on blood aging is challenging how we think about these questions.

Fantastic talk, Ning! So proud! 👏

Every morning, your cells anticipate breakfast. Every night, they prepare for sleep.

This month we recommend Andrew Grove’s High Output Management.
