What I am up to

I am taking a break from new blog postings for a few days and focusing on an update of my Anti-Aging Firewalls treatise, particularly on a comprehensive re-formulation of the 14th theory of aging.  Where the theory was Decline in Adult Stem Cell Differentiation, now I am creating a more comprehensive version to be called the Stem Cell Supply Chain Breakdown theory.  This is a major intellectual effort on my part and involves integrating new material with much information I have learned over the last year and scattered through many blog entries.  Drawing on an unfolding torrent of new research relating to stem cells, this theory offers the possibility of becoming actionable.  It could well point to incredible new anti-aging interventions.  If you want hints of what will be included check out these past blog postings: An emerging new view of aging – the stem cell supply chain, Rebooting cells and longevity, and Treating genetic diseases with corrected induced pluripotent stem cells.  One of the reasons why I am excited by this new theory of aging is that it is original.  Unlike the other 13 theories, to my knowledge this new theory cannot be found in the existing literature although pieces of it are scattered everywhere.  Expect me to finish this task and be back blogging soon.
