Predicting human lifespan limits
Recent discoveries show steady improvements in life expectancy during modern decades. Does this support that humans continue to live longer in future? We recently put forward the maximum survival tendency, as found in survival curves of industrialized countries, which is described by extended Weibull model with age-dependent stretched exponent. The maximum survival tendency suggests that human ...
متن کاملNeural Plasticity. A Lifespan Approach
One of the most promising and practical applications resulting from the enormous advances made in the understanding of molecular structure and biology of proteins is in the area of therapeutics and drug development. While recombinantly produced protein and peptide drugs offer the possibility for extremely specific and potent pharmaceuticals for the modulation of biological responses, the toxico...
متن کاملDebate on human aging and lifespan
The issue of human lifespan has long been a matter of controversy among scientists. In spite of the recent claim by Dong et al that human lifespan is limited to 115 years, with the mounting improvements in biotechnology and scientific understanding of aging, we may be confident that aging will slow down over the course of the current century extending human longevity much longer than 115 years.
متن کاملEpigenetics across the human lifespan
Epigenetics has the potential to explain various biological phenomena that have heretofore defied complete explication. This review describes the various types of endogenous human developmental milestones such as birth, puberty, and menopause, as well as the diverse exogenous environmental factors that influence human health, in a chronological epigenetic context. We describe the entire course ...
متن کاملCrying: Call for a Lifespan Approach
Although crying is woven through the life course, from the doctor’s slap to a deathbed vigil, there is no well-established lifespan tradition of studying crying. Instead the study of crying is broken into separate bodies of work on childhood (mostly on infants) and on adults. In this contribution, we share our enthusiasm and our ideas for the construction of a lifespan narrative of crying behav...
