Theories of aging

Growth and aging: a common molecular mechanism. Part 3

Aging is a senseless continuation of the process of growth and development. A random mutation would not be able to disable the "growth-aging" program: it would be lethal or, at least, would reduce physical endurance during the development of the organism. However, the activity of TOR can be inhibited by pharmacological methods.

Growth and aging: a common molecular mechanism. Part 2

Despite the fact that the mechanisms by which a low-calorie diet slows down aging are still being discussed, one of them, with a high degree of probability, is the inactivation of the TOR-mediated signaling mechanism.

Growth and aging: a common molecular mechanism. Part 1

The signaling mechanism mediated by the TOR protein may well be a molecular "bridge" between the processes of growth and aging, universal for a huge number of organisms, ranging from yeast to humans.

The mystery of longevity

Why human life expectancy has been increasing rapidly in recent decades: solving the "mystery of longevity" with the help of the hypothesis of "manifested slow aging".

Cancer and aging are two sides of the coin

Scientists at the Fox Chase Cancer Center have received direct evidence of the existence of an evolutionary compromise, implying that a high risk of cancer has to pay for a longer life expectancy.

The mechanisms of aging are combined into a single biochemical pathway

The discovery of the biochemical pathway of aging, linking mechanisms previously considered independent, provides a deeper understanding of the aging process and may show new targets for the prevention of aging and slowing down age-related changes.
