biological process- a process occurring in living organisms organic process physical process,process- a sustained phenomenon or one marked by gradual changes through a series of states; "events now in process"; "the process of calcification begins later for boys than for girls" ...
There are many theories that have proposed in order to understand the aging process, and the interpretation of these theories does not reflect an unified concept. With aging, the loss of functional and developmental capacity is evidenced, this reflecting a loss of operational ability of different ...
In spite of this diversity, for many years aging was thought to be a haphazard process driven solely by entropy. However, we now know that aging, like many other biological processes, is subject to regulation by pathways that have been conserved during evolution. Changing single genes within ...
Summary Aging, now the focus of a rapidly expanding, if still immature, biological science, remains one of the most fundamental yet mysterious aspects of biology. Evolutionary perspectives argue that aging must be a process against which natural selection operates minimally, in a postreproductive anim...
During aging, there is a physiological decline, an increase of morbidity and mortality, and a natural change in the gut microbiome. In this study, we investigated the influence of the gut microbiome on differe... Dana Binyamin, Nir Werbner, Meital Nuriel-Ohayon, Atara Uzan, Hadar Mor, At...
In addition to serving as biomarkers, some are often referred to as ‘drivers of aging’ and may hold potential as intervention targets for slowing down the aging process2,3,4,5. To qualify as a robust biological measurement of aging, a biomarker must have three essential characteristics: it...
aging is a ubiquitous biological process accompanied by a loss of physiological functions, which ultimately leads to death23. At the populational level, mortality rates may indicate overall health trends24. Thus, all-cause mortality was used as a global aging-related endpoint and a benchmark to ...
As our society is growing older, the consequences of aging have begun to gain particular attention. Improvement of quality of life at old age and prevention of age-associated diseases have become the main focus of the aging research. The process of aging in humans is complex and underlies mult...
aging of biological systems; statistical entropy; Schrödinger’s concepts; negentropy feeding; Kullback–Leibler entropy; skin age1. Introduction There are many views on the aging of biosystems; according to some estimates, there are about a hundred such theoretical constructs (see, for example, ...
Health systems have adopted models of integrated care to better align services around the needs of aging populations. The results are encouraging, but inconsistent. Although they are untested, recent approaches — such as the WHO’s ‘Integrated Care for Older People’ — that are explicitly person...
