Monsters in the uterus: A parthenogenetic quasi-program causes teratoma-like tumors during aging in wild-type <i>C.elegans</i>

2017-08-10

Abstract excerpt

Many diseases whose frequency increases with advancing age are caused by aging (senescence), but the mechanisms of senescence remain poorly understood. According to G.C. Williams and M.V. Blagosklonny, a major etiological determinant of senescence is late-life, wild-type gene action and non-adaptive execution of biological programs (or quasi-programs). These generate a wide range of senescent pathologies causing i...
