Which part of the human body wears out first?
A minority of people age like wine. Most of us won’t (although I do hope that you, the readers of my blog will count among the chosen few!). Yet despite the different aging rates, people mostly age the same. Here is the basic order in which organs fail (according to my limited clinical experience…… Continue reading Which part of the human body wears out first?
How to engineer negligible senescence in humans – part IV GlycoSENS
Have you ever started from one of these: and obtained these? This is exactly what happens in our bodies as we age, the only difference being that it takes place in decades instead of hours. Chemically it is called the Maillard reaction. What are extracellular crosslinks and how do they form? We burn slowly and…… Continue reading How to engineer negligible senescence in humans – part IV GlycoSENS
Why do some species escape senescence? part III
During the previous two parts I have mentioned two common patterns in negligible and negative senescence species that escape senescence: 1. dormancy 2. modular growth Although such species are encountered in the animal as well as in the plant kingdom, traditionally there has been a lack of interest in studying plants in the gerontology field.…… Continue reading Why do some species escape senescence? part III
