The wasting and weakening of the tissues that accompanies senescence would be a thing of the past , and old age could then truly become ripe .
组织伴随衰老的功能衰竭和退化可能将成为过去,那时候的老年也可能真的就会变得成熟。
She says that 's because during a hot , dry spell " some of that senescence program would have been initiated earlier . "
她认为,因为高温和干旱的交替影响,“部分地区的树叶的衰老凋落要早于平常年份。”
These days , the strategies for engineered negligible senescence ( sens ) project is trying to affect or repair the process of molecular and cellular damage that causes aging .
To encourage people to take his ideas seriously , aubrey de grey , the originator of the strategies for engineered negligible senescence , has organised a competition .
Existing lines of inquiry into prolonging lifespan are based either on removing the hayflick limit , which would have all sorts of untoward consequences , or suppressing production of the oxidative chemicals that are believed to cause much of the cellular damage which is bracketed together and labelled as senescence .
Senescence then , according to this hypothesis , is not some self-destruct mechanism , encoded by a specific " ageing " gene , which is suddenly switched on at a certain point in an organism 's life , in order , say , to keep population levels in check .
In " up " the handkerchief moment came early on , as the long , loving marriage of carl and ellie fredricksen was chronicled in a montage that located the film 's emotional heart simultaneously in boyhood and senescence .
