"The Evolution of Cancer and Ageing: A History of Constraint" (Nature Reviews Cancer). Fascinating perspective on how tumour suppression mechanisms that protect us early in life may ironically fuel age-related decline later on. ⚖️ From telomeres 🧬 to stem cells 🌱, and from mole rats 🐀 to tortoises 🐢, evolution has shaped a delicate trade-off between cancer resistance and ageing phenotypes. Interventions like rapamycin 💊 and caloric restriction 🥗 remind us that biology is a balancing act between growth, survival, and longevity ⏳. A reminder that in medicine and science, progress often lies in understanding these evolutionary compromises 🌍💡. #Cancer #Ageing #Longevity #Evolution #PrecisionMedicine
