  • Calorie Restriction, Aging and Longevity

    Edited by Rafael de Cabo, David G. Couteur, Suresh I. S. Rattan, Arthur V. Everitt ...
    Food or calorie restriction has been shown in many short-lived animals and the rhesus monkey to prolong life-span. Life-long nutrition studies are not possible in humans because of their long survival. Studies over two to six years in healthy adult humans have, however, shown that a 20% reduction in food or calorie intake slows many indices of normal and disease-related aging. Thus, it is widely ... Read more

  • Aging and Age-Related Disorders

    Edited by Stephen Bondy, Kenneth Maiese ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    Features that characterize the aging process include the gradual accumulation of cell damage after prolonged exposure to oxidative and inflammatory events over a lifetime. In addition to the accretion of lesions, the intrinsic levels of pro-oxidant and aberrant immune responses are elevated with age. These adverse events are often further enhanced by the chronic and slow progressing diseases that ... Read more

  • A Cybernetic View of Biological Growth

    The Maia Hypothesis

    by Tony Stebbing ...
    Maia is the story of an idea, and its development into a working hypothesis, that provides a cybernetic interpretation of how growth is controlled. Growth at the lowest level is controlled by regulating the rate of growth. Access to the output of control mechanisms is provided by perturbing the growing organism, and then filtering out the consequences to growth rate. The output of the growth ... Read more
