Scientists at the Harvard-affiliated Dana-Farber Cancer Institute say they have identified the root molecular cause of a variety of ills brought on by advanced age, including waning energy, failure of the heart and other organs, and metabolic disorders such as diabetes.

“What we have found is the core pathway of aging connecting several age-related biological processes previously viewed as independent of each other,” said Ronald A. DePinho, senior author of a report posted online by the journal Nature. The first author, Ergun Sahin, is a member of the DePinho Lab and an instructor in medicine at Harvard Medical School (HMS).

Well to me I think that dying is Nature’s way of telling us to slow down.

“Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Chardonnay in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming “WOO HOO”

By unifying several major pathways of aging under the umbrella of telomere dysfunction, he said, the findings may yield new targets for therapies.

The rituals of the Milk and Star Fire of the Goddess have been known, since the ancient Egytians, to be conducive to longevity, is thought to be very likely by means of telomerase.
