The main topic of the current issue of the quarterly science magazine Max Planck Research, which has been released today, is dedicated to the topic of aging.

One article in this issue is about a long-term project of the MPIDR,  in which the researchers of the Laboratory of Evolutionary Biodemography are trying to figure out why the freshwater polyp Hydra does not age.
