Aging How do we age? -Damage to cells Why should we care? -Age related diseases -Ways to put off? What is aging?

The Stress Theory What is stress? The oxidative stress theory of aging  Harman (1956) Free radicals Does all evidence support this theory?  Huang (2000)  Van Remmen (2003) Cellular stress response determines the rate of aging

Investigation 1. Create a stress resistant population 2. Are there changes in longevity response? 3. Are there changes in the genetic networks that control stress response?
