Rome wasn’t built in a day and neither is longevity attained overnight. A few years ago I read about the compound effect: it’s this idea that baby steps done regularly lead to extraordinary results on the long term. Exponential growth is very hard for humans to wrap their minds around. Linear growth is so much…… Continue reading Longevity and the Compound Effect

The infectious burden of aging – cause or effect?
Last year, I screwed it up when I started a book on a topic that seemed to go nowhere – I quit working on it, not before publishing a blog post here. Nowadays, I’m working on another one trying to answer several questions of mine and putting hypotheses out there. Our DNA mostly remains the…… Continue reading The infectious burden of aging – cause or effect?
Aging is the loss of cell polarity maintenance
There are 2 ways to deal with the inevitable damage that takes place in an organism in time: 1. You can try to repair it. 2. You can try to limit it. The first solution is usable, but expensive. Energetically expensive. Species mainly use it on the short-term. Some kind of repair is needed for…… Continue reading Aging is the loss of cell polarity maintenance
How to engineer negligible senescence in humans – part VI RepleniSENS
After a couple of previous articles we reached part VI – the most important of all (in my opinion) because a cell that divides itself in two also dilutes its original damage as well. Having a fresh supply of somatic cells derived from our own DNA would largely correct many of geriatrics diseases. Let’s find…… Continue reading How to engineer negligible senescence in humans – part VI RepleniSENS
