Does telomere elongation lead to a longer lifespan if cancer is considered?
As cell proliferation is limited due to the loss of telomere repeats in DNA of normal somatic cells during division, telomere attrition can possibly play an important role in determining the maximum life span of organisms as well as contribute to the process of biological ageing. With computer simulations of cell culture development in organisms, which consist of tissues of normal somatic cells...
متن کاملMouse Health Span: Why Lifespan is No Longer Enough
The San Antonio Nathan Shock Center Conferences have attracted international speakers and participants since 1995. This annual conference, held in Bandera, Texas, addresses a different topic in the biology of aging each year. The venue's intimate setting, relatively remote location and common areas are ideal for a small conference (80Á100 participants) where informal intellectual interchange su...
متن کاملDoes telomere elongation in cloned organisms lead to a longer lifespan if cancer is considered ?
... By additionally considering a two-mutation model for carcinogenesis and indefinite proliferation by the activation of telomerase, we demonstrate that the risk of dying doe to cancer can outweigh the positive effect of longer telomeres on the longevity.
متن کاملDoes Good Mutation Help You Live Longer?
We study the dynamics of an age-structured population in which the life expectancy of an offspring may be mutated with respect to that of its parent. When advantageous mutation is favored, the average fitness of the population grows linearly with time t, while in the opposite case the average fitness is constant. For no mutational bias, the average fitness grows as t2 3. The average age of the ...
متن کاملLonger RNNs
For problems with long range dependencies, training of Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) faces limitations because of vanishing or exploding gradients. In this work, we introduce a new training method and a new recurrent architecture using residual connections, both aimed at increasing the range of dependencies that can be modeled by RNNs. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach by show...
