The Aging Gap Between Species by Anca Ioviţă

Bio is breaking out of the lab and clinic and into our daily lives-on the verge of revolutionizing our world in ways we are only just beginning to imagine. The Biology of Aging: with and to the first episode of Bio Eats World, a brand new podcast all about how biology is technology. Perennial Plants and Their Regenerating Roots Or an Immortal JellyfishĬase Study: Indeterminate Growth in CrustaceansĬase Study: Same Species, Different Telomerase Expression The Segregation of Somatic and Germ CellsĬlonal Senescence Versus Mechanical SenescenceĬase Study: Parasite/Free-Living PopulationsĬase Study: Island Versus Inland PopulationsĬase Study: Low Hormone Levels in Long-lived RodentsĬase Study: Thymic Involution in Negligible Senescence SpeciesĬase Study: Why Are Sponges Potentially Immortal?Ĭase Study: Youth Is Forever Gone. Only you can decide if I achieved this.Īre Cell Membranes the Pacemakers of Metabolism?Ĭould Reproduction Set up the Pacemaker of Senescence? I tried to instill life in a topic that is hugely important for the extension of human lifespan. The amount of data I had to browse in order to keep the essential patterns is huge. Aging research is too important to hide it behind the closed doors of formal scientific jargon.This book could not have existed if green tea, libraries and the Internet were not invented. What are the mechanisms underlying the aging gap between species? I intentionally chose to write the answer to this question in plain English. This book is my attempt at doing just that. I wanted to expose the aging gap between species in an easy-to-follow and logical sequence. I wanted to see the forest among the trees. This is the reason for which I studied countless information resources in an attempt to gather highly specialized research into one easy-to-follow book. Who has time to study species that live for decades? But lifespan differences among species are orders of magnitude larger than any lifespan variation achieved in the lab. What all these species have in common is their fast aging. This process is traditionally studied in a couple of biological models like fruit flies, worms and mice.
