Some of the causes of aging recognized by aging
intervention scientists for which we will find solutions:
|
|
 |
Oxidation, glycation, cross-linking,
and other chemical modifications acting to impair the molecular
functioning of multiple vital components in the body. Those affected include DNA,
membranes, the extracellular matrix (ECM), enzymes, and structural proteins
|
|
|
 |
Debris and disorganization – both intracellular
(inside the cell) and extracellular (outside the cell)
|
|
|
 |
Alteration in chemical equilibrium of cells (change in redox potential
poise) -- results in a decreased ability to manage highly reactive and damaging
molecules. This causes alterations in gene expression, enzyme activity, and signaling
pathways Cell atrophy and loss |

Nuclear mutations – in nucleus, including DNA |
|
|
 |
Decrease in repair and recycling effectiveness |
|
|
 |
Mutant mitochondria (mitochondria are the “energy factories” within
the cells that also control cellular processes)
|
|
|
 |
Harmful cells that are resistant to death -- visceral fat cells, supernumerary cells
(toxic cells that accumulate in the cartilage in our joints and elsewhere) and dysfunctional
immune cells)
