Z_2_10 — Genetics of Aging and Progeria

Aging — the progressive decline in physiological function leading to increased vulnerability to disease and death — has a substantial genetic component: twin studies estimate heritability of human lifespan at ~25–30% (He

Z_2_14 — Genetics of Longevity and Blue Zones

The genetics of human longevity — why some individuals live past 100 while most do not — is a field where heritability is modest, effect sizes are small, and environmental factors dominate, yet several genetic pathways h

ZB_2_05 — Aging, Longevity, and the Biology of Death

Why do organisms age and die? This question — one of the oldest in human inquiry — has yielded remarkable molecular answers in recent decades. Leonard Hayflick's 1961 discovery that human cells have a finite replicative

ZB_2_13 — Death Biology: Programmed Cell Death

Death in biology is not merely the passive failure of living systems but an actively regulated process at multiple levels — from individual cells to whole organisms. Programmed cell death (PCD), particularly apoptosis, w
