5 Questions
What are the nine tentative hallmarks of aging discussed in the text?
The nine tentative hallmarks of aging discussed in the text are: genomic instability, telomere attrition, epigenetic alterations, loss of proteostasis, deregulated nutrient-sensing, mitochondrial dysfunction, cellular senescence, stem cell exhaustion, and altered intercellular communication.
What are some major human pathologies associated with aging?
Some major human pathologies associated with aging include cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disorders, and neurodegenerative diseases.
What has been the recent advance in aging research?
The recent advance in aging research is the discovery that the rate of aging is controlled, at least to some extent, by genetic pathways and biochemical processes conserved in evolution.
What is the primary risk factor for major human pathologies?
The primary risk factor for major human pathologies is the progressive loss of physiological integrity associated with aging.
What is the challenge in aging research?
The challenge in aging research is to dissect the interconnectedness of the nine hallmarks of aging and understand their role in the aging process.
