Abstract

I will first discuss how all aging models that assume that the aged cell has irreversibly lost its youthful capabilities through such mechanisms as accumulated dysfunction, accumulated damage, and/or accumulation of toxic byproducts of metabolism have been shown to be incorrect. I will then briefly discuss models of aging and propose an experiment that would distinguish between those models and provide a basis for organismic rejuvenation.

Key words

aging aging mechanisms theories of aging parabiosis cross-age transplantation rejuvenation cellular aging age-dependent transcriptional patterns
