Hallmarks of Aging: Stem Cell Exhaustion
The Hallmarks of Aging describe stem cell exhaustion as failure of stem cells & their ability to supply new somatic cells to organs/tissues.
Hallmarks of Aging: Deregulated Nutrient Sensing
The Hallmarks of Aging describes deregulated nutrient sensing as a failure of four pathways that manage metabolism & energy production.
Hallmarks of Aging: Cellular Senescence
The Hallmarks of Aging describes cellular senescence as dysfunctional, pro-inflammatory cells which have evaded destruction.
Hallmarks of Aging: Telomere Attrition
The Hallmarks of Aging describes telomere attrition as the erosion of the protective telomeres that cap the ends of our chromosomes.
Hallmarks of Aging: Mitochondrial Dysfunction
The Hallmarks of Aging describes mitochondrial dysfunction as the decline of mitochondria and their ability to produce energy for the cell.
Hallmarks of Aging: Loss of Proteostasis
The Hallmarks of Aging describes the loss of proteostasis as the failure of our protein production machinery and is a reason we age.

Longevity 101: The Overpopulation Myth
Whenever the topic of increasing healthy human lifespans is suggested, inevitably the concern it will lead to overpopulation will be raised.
Longevity 101: Aging Is No Longer Inevitable
So, why do we believe that aging is not inevitable? First things first: we know it isn’t because nature shows us it isn’t. Read on!
Caloric Restriction vs. Intermittent Fasting
While there's an element of inherent caloric restriction built into the fundamentals of IF, there’s more science behind this novel approach.
How Caloric Restriction Impacts Longevity
The notion of fasted dieting has become a trend, but is this approach to nutrition the magic bullet for weight management & general health?
Longevity 101: Why Does Longevity Matter?
While there are many positives to a longer life, there is also effort needed to achieve it. So, why does longevity matter?
