Abstract: Advancement in aging and rejuvenation studies have been progressing exponentially with amazing results in animal models [1,2] and, on a smaller scale, in some human organs like the corneas [3]. Today, it is accepted that aging can be reversed and that it has a set of biological metrics in addition to its de facto association with several chronic conditions in the adult population. However, aging is yet to be classified as a disease, since “disease†as defined in the Oxford dictionary is “a disorder of a structure or function in a human, animal or plant, especially one that has a known cause and a distinctive group of symptoms, signs or anatomical changes.â€
