Authorities say a wolf briefly escaped its habitat at an Ohio zoo but was recaptured, and no guests or employees were hurt. Officials at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo said the Mexican gray wolf “briefly breached its habitat” Monday and had access to the guest path for about five minutes, but staff established a perimeter around it and the animal care team secured the animal and reunited it with the other wolves. There was no immediate word on how the animal was able to escape. The zoo’s website says the Mexican is the smallest of the gray wolf subspecies, 54 to 66 inches long and weighing 50 to 90 pounds.

A growing number of scientists is trying to help people reach a goal humans have been chasing throughout history: staying active and vital in old age. They are part of the skyrocketing scientific field of cellular senescence, which is built upon the idea that cells eventually stop dividing. The body removes most of them, but others linger like zombies, not quite dead and harming normal cells nearby. They accumulate in older bodies, and mounting evidence links this to an array of age-related conditions like dementia, cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis. Scientists wonder: Can the zombie cell buildup be stopped through things like drugs or exercise?
