negligible senescence

The arrest of biological time as a bridge to engineered negligible senescence.

Though more detailed studies are warranted, it appears this species is a case of negligible senescence.

Recently, Zyuganov has focused on studying the negligible senescence phenomenon.

Humans have a massively long lifespan, we might not be that far off from the necessary changes to exhibit negligible senescence.

Eliminating aging would require finding a solution to each of these causes, a program de Grey calls engineered negligible senescence.

Negligible senescence refers to the lack of symptoms of ageing in a few select animals.

He was at pains to argue that what he calls "negligible senescence," and what the average person would call living forever, is inevitable.

The results fell into seven main categories of 'damage', seven alterations whose reversal would constitute negligible senescence:

Some animals, such as some reptiles and fish, age slowly (negligible senescence) and exhibit very long lifespans.

Organisms exhibiting negligible senescence suggest that aging is not a fundamental limitation, at least not in the scale of mammal life span.

Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence is a proposed research program for repairing all types of age-related damage.

The phenomenon of negligible senescence in some animals is a traditional argument for attempting to achieve similar negligible senescence in humans by technological means.

The term "negligible senescence" was first used in the early 1990s by professor Caleb Finch to describe organisms such as lobsters and hydras, which do not show symptoms of aging.

But now something was causing the gerontologically treated individual to go from negligible senescence to extremely rapid senescence-or, even more disturbingly, straight from health to death, without senescence at all.

V.V. Zyuganov received worldwide reputation after he discovered the fact of a negligible senescence and determined the maximum lifespan (210-250 years) of the freshwater pearl mussel (Margaritifera margaritifera).

The Foundation "works to develop, promote and ensure widespread access to regenerative medicine solutions to the disabilities and diseases of ageing," focusing on the Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence.

Among the principle drivers of international collaboration in such research is the SENS Research Foundation, a non-profit organization that advocates a number of what it claims are plausible research pathways that might lead to engineered negligible senescence in humans.

Evolutionary and reliability ideas also help in understanding why organisms seem to "choose" a simple but short-term solution of the survival problem through enhancing the systems' redundancy, instead of a more permanent but complicated solution based on rigorous repair (with the potential of achieving negligible senescence).

Their failure in this respect confirmed the existence of a species of multicellular animals (Metazoa) with negligible senescence (non ageing), that do not preclude any generation of reactive oxygen species or shortening of telomeres, apoptosis or other cellular processes, which typically account for ageing.

Numerous species show very low signs of aging ("negligible senescence"), the best known being trees like the bristlecone pine (however Hayflick states that the bristlecone pine has no cells older than 30 years), fish like the sturgeon and the rockfish, invertebrates like the quahog and sea anemone and lobster.

Also rejected was the traditional view that mortal genes (ageing and death) appeared simultaneously with the appearance Metazoa and distribution functions between tissues, as are details about the existence of not only the species of multicellular animals Metazoa with negligible senescence, but also potentially immortal species of Metazoa.
