This Biogerontology paper provides an example of the process in worms: "Mild hormetic heat treatments early in life can significantly increase the lifespan of the nematode C.
But in practice, the implications extend right back to things I should be doing now. The serious aging and longevity science of today is far ahead of the support for this work; more funding would lead very directly to faster progress.
By contrast with mammals, newt and zebrafish hearts regenerate after amputation.
His new study suggests that the cell has a molecular homeowner that keeps up repairs until a predetermined time, when the owner picks up the welcome mat and moves out.

From where I stand, more delving into the mechanisms is needed to demonstrate that the stress response is acting as a significant source of life-shortening cellular damage.
decades-longer lives may change traditional patterns of family life, careers, retirement, education and child-raising and force radical changes to pensions.
Once these correlations are established, serious longevists will be equipped with easy-to-run clinical tests that indicate how well their regimens are working. What exactly would people be dying of?
" Researchers believe they will be able to effectively target cancer stem cells with the next generation of therapies.
The field in general is not so narrow-minded as to ignore the view of minds so eminent as the SENS Challenge panel, however.
the age onset of these diseases is not simply a matter of time but that the aging process plays an active role in controlling the onset of toxicity .
That's why the Calorie Restriction Society has initiated a milestone study that will correlate human calorie restrictors' genetic expression and cell signaling indicators to clinical markers.
