Singapore scientists are hoping to start clinical trials that could find the answer to slowing the muscle and strength loss as we age. The team from Duke-NUS has discovered a protein - called interleukin-11 - that causes ageing. Blocking this protein could potentially increase healthy lifespans. CNA's Syahida Othman speaks to Assistant Professor Anissa Widjaja from the Cardiovascular and Metabolic Disorders Programme at Duke-NUS Medical School on the discovery and what it means for Singapore's ageing population.
