What is 'biological age'?
Biological age refers to the physiological age of your cells and tissues, which can be different from your actual chronological age (how many years you've been alive). Factors like lifestyle, genetics, and environment can influence it. The drug in the story aimed to reduce patients' biological age, suggesting a reversal or slowing of cellular aging processes.
