What is the number one disease killing our elders besides heart disease? Cancer. A dreadful word that conjures all sorts of evil things, cancer runs rampant as we age. What do all cancers have in common? They start from one (or several) nuclear mutation(s). In the case of lifestyle non-inherited cancers the disease…… Continue reading How to engineer negligible senescence in humans – part VII OncoSENS

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
How to engineer negligible senescence in humans – part V ApoptoSENS
Where does aging start? There is something inside us that makes us frailer as we count more years – in the beginning we will feel more tired, afterwards we may see our first wrinkles and our graying hair. What’s going on? Where does this time bomb start? Which is the first to age: the body…… Continue reading How to engineer negligible senescence in humans – part V ApoptoSENS
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
