My research shows that aging is essentially a genetic program driven by telomeres and/or rDNA shortening through the p53 pathway, rather than the accumulation of damage. Individual aging results from replicative senescence of adult stem cells; and that cellular senescence is co-regulated by telomeres and rDNA through the p53 pathway. Moreover, the 11 other classic hallmarks of aging are downstream events regulated by p53 upregulation after telomere and rDNA shortening. From the perspective of first principles, the lifespan of a species is determined by the shortening rate of telomeres and rDNA arrays.
