Heumann-Hötzel model for aging revisited.

Physical review. E, Statistical, nonlinear, and soft matter physics - 1 Oct 2001

de Medeiros N G, Onody R N

Abstract excerpt

Since its proposition in 1995, the Heumann-Hötzel model has remained as an obscure model of biological aging. The main arguments used against it were its apparent inability to describe populations with many age intervals and its failure to prevent a population extinction when only deleterious mutations are present. We find that with a simple and minor change in the model these difficulties can be surmounted. Our...
