I explain how aging emerges from an imbalance of cell birth, maintenance, and death, and the inevitability of time and entropy.
Telomere erosion drives DNA mutation and cell suicide
How telomere erosion leads to chromosomal mutation, which causes dysfunction and cell death (we hope)
What is telomerase?
Just a link for those of you who may not know what telomerase is, what it does, and why it is crucial to slow aging.
What causes Premature Aging?
Failure to faithfully replicate and preserve stem cell DNA appears to be the final common pathway to premature aging
Let’s redefine ignorance
I was at an ideas festival filled with some bright and accomplished people and I found myself rebuked by what I would consider true ignorance at least three times.
