The WHYAGE project investigates the diversity of aging processes across species, challenging the notion that senescence is inevitable. It aims to develop methods and models to understand how environmental factors influence aging and population dynamics.
Why do organisms age?
This is surely one of the most compelling questions in biology.
With advancing age, organisms can see physiological decline leading to higher mortality and lower fertility, a process known as ‘senescence’.
The foundations of aging research state senescence should be inevitable in any organism, and is likely a by-product of attenuation in force of selection with age.
But is senescence inevitable?
Could senescence be adaptive?Senescence is not inevitable, according to recent…
