BALTIMORE -- Just about everyone knows someone — or is that someone — who has aches or pains, some forgetfulness or other age-related issue or disease.
Let’s face it, the human body deteriorates as it ages: Bones grow brittle, muscles don’t recover as fast, brains even begin to shrink.
The Johns Hopkins University has assembled a group of experts based at its Bayview Medical Center in Baltimore to accelerate work underway to better understand what’s causing these age-related problems, slow them or even fix them.
