As cells grow their ability to be able to replicate gets diminished. The replicating process is refered to as, "mitosis". I believe that the ability for this process to be less efficient as time passes is normal, given that potential energy is reduced due to exhaustion. Also, the concept of work comes into play when one inputs energy in the form of nutrition into the body. This energy is then harvested by the mitochondria and outputted durring mitosis. Cells become strained through this process and therefore cease as they only have a limited input of energy, physical exhaustion and affected by radiation. If we find a way to keep a constant amount of energy in these cells while addressing exhaustion and radiation we could start to find a cure for ageing. The efficiency of cell replication is therefore important when thinking about ageing. It is this factor or concept and radiation which could be causing ageing as radiation causes mutations to cells thus accounting for the changes in mitosis. These changes cause the cells to mutate and replicate slower or become easier to exhaust. Is it possible that if we stop the body from emitting radiation and supplement it with blood transfusions, we can see a therapy for ageing? Theoretically, the cells in our bodies become less efficient as one grows older or cells become physically exhausted therefore, if supplemented with a blood transfusion from a younger donor, the body could hypothetically be reinvigorated with younger cells with more capability for mitosis thus, it would replicate at the younger person's pace. The question here is, how much blood would need to be transfused to the host person inorder to facilitate a youthful process of mitosis? In short we need to find a way to keep a constant amount of energy in cells, we also need to address the issue of exhaustion and lastly the mutations caused by radiation.
We could start first by determining the ideal radiation that we want the body to emit. To do this, quantitative numbers must be taken with pertinence to radiation at each age. Collecting these numbers would give us the ideal age at which body radiation is most therapeutic.
Secondly, we need to find a constant source of energy. We need to do two things here. We need to eat healthy and also keep the energy in the cells available for mitochondria and mitosis thereafter.
Lastly, we need to find a way to reduce physical strain to the cells. If the cells get too strained it would cause them to cease. Physical strain can cause physical changes to the cells or mutation therefore, we need to find a way to make cells function in such a way that they don't get too strained but also strained enough that they are efficient, that would thus be therapeutic. I believe that certain disorders hold the key to what we are looking for.
Some other conventional therapy that one could look at are botulinum toxin, adenosine triphosphate and potassium iodide. These are the starting point drugs that we need to annalyze if we are to change the view on ageing.
I figure that one of the signs that treatment for ageing is effective is a fall of body temperature. If we can manage to reduce this temperature we are in the right direction. The reason why the body heats up is because of the aforementioned process within the mitochondria. Being able to create energy without expelling heat radiation could allow the cells to not expirience mutations. There is a reason why live animals including humans age and inanimate objects don't. One of the differences here is thermal radiation.
