Interesting...Especially the part about natural selection selecting for aging.

Yes, it's the first time I've heard the idea about regulatory pathways "drifting" out of tune...

Re: Prevailing theory of aging challenged

I look forward to more research on other organisms. For instance, in the case of the 400 year old clam, would we see less activity among these genes? Or less genes? etc.

I have a hunch that it's a bit more complicated than they are making it out to be (), but time will tell.

It always seems to turn out that way. Time will tell, but by then, I'll probably be dead.
