1. Life extension Life extension science, also known as anti-aging medicine, indefinite life extension , experimental gerontology , and biomedical gerontology , is the study of slowing down or reversing the processes of aging to the maximum and the average lifespan . The ability to achieve this, however, does not currently exist. [1]...
2. Mitochondrial replacement therapy Mitochondrial replacement ( MRT , sometimes called mitochondrial donation ) is a special form of in vitro fertilization in which the future baby’s mitochondrial DNA comes from a third party. This technique is used when mothers carry genes for mitochondrial diseases . The two most common techniques in mitochondrial donation are pronuclear transfer and maternal spindle transfer ....

4. Evolution of aging Inquiry into the evolution of aging , survival success, and success of aging . Leading hypotheses [1] [2] suggest that a combination of limited resources, and an increasing risk of death by environmental causes determines an “optimal” level of self-maintenance, ie the repair of molecular and cellular level accumulates over time. Darwinian fitness is one of the most important resources...
5. Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence ( SENS ) is the term coined by British biogerontologist Aubrey of Gray for the diverse range of regenerative medical therapies, either planned or currently in development, [1] for the periodical repair of all age-related damage to human tissue with the ultimate purpose of maintaining a negligible senescence in the patient, thereby aiding postponing age-associated disease for as...
6. Anti-aging movement The anti-aging movement is a social movement devoted to eliminating or reversing aging , or reducing the effects of it. [1] [2] A substantial portion of the attention of the movement is on the possibilities for life extension , but there is also interest in techniques such as cosmetic surgery which ameliorates the effects of aging rather than delay or defeat it. [3]...
7. Calorie restriction Calorie restriction , or caloric restriction , or dietary restriction , is a dietary regimen that reduces calorie intake without incurring malnutrition or a reduction in essential nutrients . “Reduce” can be defined relative to the subject of the prior intake before intentionally restricting calories, or relative to an average person of similar body type....
8. Rejuvenation (aging) Rejuvenation is a medical discipline focused on the reversal of the aging process . [1] Rejuvenation is distinct from life extension . Life extension strategies often study the causes of aging and try to oppose those causes in order to slow aging. Rejuvenation is the reversal of aging and thus requires a different strategy, namely repair of the damage that...
9. Outline of transhumanism Transhumanism – international intellectual and cultural movement That affirms the possibility and desirability of Fundamentally transforming the human requirement by Developing and making Widely available technology to Eliminate aging and to Greatly Enhance human intellectual, physical, psychological and Capacities. [1] Transhumanist thinkers study the potential benefits and risks of emerging and hypothetical Technologies That Could Overcome Fundamental human limitations, as well as study the ethical matters Involved in Developing...
10. Epigenetic clock An epigenetic clock is a type of DNA clock based on measuring natural DNA methylation levels to estimate the biological age of a tissue, cell type or organ. A pre-eminent example for an epigenetic clock is Horvath’s clock , which is based on epigenetic markers on the human genome. [1] [2] [3] [4]...
