  2. Mitochondrial theory of ageing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitochondrial_theory_of_ageing

    The mitochondrial theory of ageing has two varieties: free radical and non-free radical. The first is one of the variants of the free radical theory of ageing. It was formulated by J. Miquel and colleagues in 1980 [1] and was developed in the works of Linnane and coworkers (1989). [2] The second was proposed by A. N. Lobachev in 1978. [3]

  3. Stem cell theory of aging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stem_cell_theory_of_aging

    The cellularity of the bone marrow does decrease with age and can be usually calculated by the formula 100-age, and this seems consistent with a stem cell theory of aging. [18] A dog study published by Zaucha J.M, Yu C. and Mathioudakis G., et al. also shows evidence against the stem cell theory. Experimental comparison of the engraftment ...

  4. Free-radical theory of aging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free-radical_theory_of_aging

    The metabolic stability theory of aging suggests it is the cells ability to maintain stable concentration of ROS which is the primary determinant of lifespan. [37] This theory criticizes the free radical theory because it ignores that ROS are specific signalling molecules which are necessary for maintaining normal cell functions. [37]

  5. Hayflick limit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hayflick_limit

    The typical normal human fetal cell will divide between 50 and 70 times before experiencing senescence. As the cell divides, the telomeres on the ends of chromosomes shorten. The Hayflick limit is the limit on cell replication imposed by the shortening of telomeres with each division. This end stage is known as cellular senescence.

  6. Evolution of ageing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution_of_ageing

    The two theories; non-adaptive, and adaptive, are used to explain the evolution of senescence, which is the decline in reproduction with age. [8] The non-adaptive theory assumes that the evolutionary deterioration of human age occurs as a result of accumulation of deleterious mutations in the germline. [8]

  9. Biogerontology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biogerontology

    Genetic theories of aging propose that aging is programmed within each individual's genes. According to this theory, genes dictate cellular longevity. Programmed cell death, or apoptosis, is determined by a "biological clock" via genetic information in the nucleus of the cell. Genes responsible for apoptosis provide an explanation for cell ...
