A quantum leap to achieve biological immortality

In previous articles Hidden enemy in our cells and It is time to go further from SENS and the epigenetic theory of aging, I explained my idea that the human endogenous retroviruses K (HERV-K) cause aging, cancer, and autoimmune diseases. This theory doesn’t merely display an alternative view of the…

It is time to go further from SENS and the epigenetic theory of aging

Today there are two theories that are the most popular in the longevity community: Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence (SENS) that were summed up in Aubrey De Grey’s book Ending Aging published in 2008, and the epigenetic theory of aging based on the article “DNA methylation age of human tissues…

Hidden enemy in our cells

Most people do not know about viruses that are always with us since birth. If you catch flu, usually it does not affect your descendants. However, it was not that case in past times. Endogenous retroviruses During the long constant evolution of our ancestors, the human genome of our precursors was persistently…

Which endogenous retroviruses could induce chronic inflammation?

The most pervasive marker of aging is a high rate of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1, IL-6, TNF-alpha), and therefore aging comes with low-level chronic inflammation without any clear presence of foreign pathogens as microbes or viruses. Many scientists propose a lot of possible explanations for this phenomenon including reactive oxygen species…

The viral theory of aging

Aging is one of the greatest mysteries of life and the search for “eternal youth” has persisted since the very beginning of humankind — Aging is perceived as a consequence of natural unavoidable processes in the organism like mutations or radical oxygen species but the suppression of these processes does not alleviate aging. Moreover, it decreases the capability of the organism. So, in my opinion, aging arises not due to molecular damage and therefore…
