The mechanisms of aging are becoming increasingly well mapped; however, there remains ongoing debate about the ultimate and proximate causes of aging. The recent development of highly precise aging ...

We propose a new theory for aging based on dynamical systems and provide a data-driven computational method to quantify the changes at the cellular level. We use ergodic theory to decompose the ...

Having strong bonds with others may help you live longer. A new study, published in the journal Brain, Behavior and Immunity – Health, found that social relationships can actually slow cellular aging.

Aging affects every single living organism at a deep microscopic level. Biological systems slow down as birthday candles ...
