Immune competence is the key to fighting off diseases, especially cancer
My 5D Model of Aging Lecture
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 causes Premature Aging?
Failure to faithfully replicate and preserve stem cell DNA appears to be the final common pathway to premature aging
The best marker for biological age is…
The fact that progeria-affected kids have undeniable biological aging despite young epigenetic and chronological ages implies that telomerpathies that drive them are still the most robust explanation for aging globally
