Over the last three decades, aging research has made great strides. At least in non-vertebrate animal models such as yeast and worms, it is possible to extend lifespan through reduced or ablated expression of hundreds of genes. The number of genes tested in mice are substantially less but the data so far is consistent with modulation of aging by numerous genes and pathways. More importantly, ev...

متن کاملThe aging process and potential interventions to extend life expectancy
Aging is commonly defined as the accumulation of diverse deleterious changes occurring in cells and tissues with advancing age that are responsible for the increased risk of disease and death. The major theories of aging are all specific of a particular cause of aging, providing useful and important insights for the understanding of age-related physiological changes. However, a global view of t...
متن کاملStealing cycles: Can we get along?
The exploitation of networked workstations as a set of under-util ized computational resources is an attractive idea for cost effective parallel computing. The use of these resources, however, raises a number of interesting policy and performance questions (e.g, what impact will a parallel application have on the normal workstation user, what performance levels can be expected when many users a...
