Abstract
Issues of aging and longevity are intertwined in all aspects of human life. From a biological perspective, the search for the underlying mechanisms is a fascinating problem for which there is little consensus regarding the best approach. Although research in this area is as old as science itself, meaningful insights into the fundamental causes of aging and longevity at the molecular or genetic levels are very recent and come from dramatically varied model systems. Thus, it is not surprising that one will find almost as many theories of aging as there are scientists working on this problem.
