The 9 Hallmarks of Aging

 I admit it. Researching "Aging Gracefully" overwhelms me. But today I serendipitously discovered a skeleton on which to hang the book's muscles. It is an article entitled "The Hallmarks of Aging," published 10 years ago in the scientific magazine "Cell." The link is at the bottom. These are the 9 Hallmarks:

  1. Genomic instability

  2. Telomere attrition

  3. Epigenetic alterations

  4. Loss of proteostasis

  5. Deregulated Nutrient Sensing

  6. Mitochondrial dysfunction

  7. Cellular senescence

  8. Stem cell exhaustion

  9. Altered intercellular communication 


It's a good read, even if you can't understand
all of the terminology. Now I am focused!
