We don't understand human tissues well enough to simulate them. This is why we need Ai scientists, conducting and leading experiments.

Once we understand them, cures may be obvious to the Ai's and not require simulation.

But what if we just simulate a fundamental embryonic cell and let it grow in a simulated womb, to see how it develops and...aww shit we don't know how the womb works either...and maybe just basic tissues in a simulated petri dish ? Idk.

Some simulations will help, especially those aided by Ai.

The protein folding problem was solved by an Ai, but you could call it a simulation that learned how to simulate given lots of examples.

I think the aging problem is best attacked from all angles.

Regardless of the approaches, the increasing levels of computation will make all problems much easier to solve.
