Aging theory

SENS

Damage Rising with Age Date Reversable or obviatable by
Cell loss, Atropy 1955 Stem cells, growth factors, exercise
Nuclear mutations 1959/1982 WILT
Mutant Mitochondria 1972 Allotopic expression of 13 proteins
Death resistant cells 1965 Cell ablation reprogrammng
Extra cellular crosslinks 1981 AGE-breaking molecules enzymes
Extracellular junk 1907 Phagocytosis: beta-blockers
Intracellular junk 1959 Transgenic microbial hydrolases

Damage Rising with Age
Date
Caused by
Reversable or obviatable by
Cell loss, atrophy
1955
Intracellular pathogens
target with anti-biotics?, antimicrobials? novel intracellular target synthetic drugs such as stapled peptides and riptides
Nuclear mutations
1959/1982
Intracellular pathogens

Kill pathogens. Make cells fuse together to repair genetic damage.

Target cancerous cells with immune system or even certain viruses or trigger apoptosis using novel drugs.

Increased free radical production by mitochondria
1972
Increasing hostile cytoplasm
Kill biological pathogens in cytoplasm. RNAi

Death Resisant cells

165
Intracellular pathogens
Target with immune system.RNAi
Extra cellular crosslinks
1981
Biological pathogens. Modification of proteins. Immune reponse?
Reduce bacterial load with antimicrobials Fibroblast turnover.
Extra cellular junk
1907
Bacterial and calcified biofilms
Disrupt and destroy bacterial biofilms with antibiofilm agents
Intracellular junk
1959
Biological pathogens. Build up of junk that can't be degraded
Kill pathogens. Use enzyme replacement therapy or synthetic biologics such as Stapled peptides or RIPtides for intracellular targets
