Fritz Verzár (1886–1979): An almost forgotten pioneer
Thanks to @MartinHicklin & @unibasel for this great article in memory of Fritz Verzar. "He would have celebrated his 130th birthday on September 18 this year."
He pioneered an assay (rat tendon tail assay) that is still used today for measuring age-related changes (cross-linking of collagens). "Verzár’s work on collagen attracted widespread interest, and rat tendons remained a popular model in gerontology."
