What Can We Learn From an Italian Region’s Oldest Residents?
I recently returned from a wonderful vacation in Italy, so naturally, the Cilento Initiative on Aging Outcomes (CIAO) conference, which kicks off today in Acciaroli Salerno, Italy, caught my attention.
The May 22-23 symposium, officially titled the “CIAO Study: A decade of science on healthy aging, stem cells and the revealed secrets of longevity,” will feature a series of scientists and physicians describing their work and findings, from general demographic and epidemiological aspects to deeper dives into brain cell aging, the regenerative powers of stem cells and RNA biology, according to Sanford Burnham Preys, an independent biomedical research institute in San Diego that is collaborating on the long-term study.
Journalists can reach out to the presenters, many of whom are based in the U.S. to learn more about the study outcomes and how we can adapt or adopt some of these approaches to longevity and health span in America. Experts and bios are noted on pages 6-7 of the conference brochure and media contacts are listed below.
