Growth and aging: a common molecular mechanism. Part 2

Despite the fact that the mechanisms by which a low-calorie diet slows down aging are still being discussed, one of them, with a high degree of probability, is the inactivation of the TOR-mediated signaling mechanism.

Growth and aging: a common molecular mechanism. Part 1

The signaling mechanism mediated by the TOR protein may well be a molecular "bridge" between the processes of growth and aging, universal for a huge number of organisms, ranging from yeast to humans.

Retirement shortens life

Retirement is a factor of shortening life, – Professor P. Vorobyov is sure. So the later you retire, the higher the life expectancy, and not vice versa. We, gerontologists, have been calling for 15 years to raise the retirement age for everyone to 65.

Adult stem cells can be rejuvenated!

The aging process of adult stem cells responsible for the regeneration of worn or damaged tissues can be reversed. Perhaps this discovery will lead to the development of treatments for a number of age-related diseases.

Take care of the vessels of the brain!

Many symptoms of aging, such as shaking hands, balance disorders, difficulty walking, etc., can be caused by blockage of the smallest vessels of the brain, which cannot be detected using existing methods.
