Kennita Watson's post #15595 about a collagen cross-link dissolving drug 
reminds us of the now-eclipsed aging theory of Johan Bjorksten, who thought 
cross-links might be the major underlying cause of aging, and the right 
enzyme might reverse it. One of his articles is in AGING LIFE PROCESSES, ed. 
Seymour Bakerman, Charles C. Thomas publisher, Springfield, IL 1969. Maybe 
Bjorksten was at least partly right.
