Outline of life extension
Summary
Index of life extension-related articles
The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to life extension:
Life extension – study of slowing down or reversing the processes of aging to extend both the maximum and average lifespan. Also known as anti-aging medicine, experimental gerontology, and biomedical gerontology.
Biological immortality
Indefinite lifespan
Longevity
Rejuvenation
Centenarian
Supercentenarian
Longevity escape velocity
Timeline of senescence research
Calorie restriction or protein restriction or intermittent fasting
Exercise
Geroprotector
Senolytics
Cryonics
Genetic therapies
Cloning and body part replacement
Cell replacement therapies (CRT)
Strategies for engineered negligible senescence (SENS)
Digital immortality through mind uploading
Suspended animation
Immunisation
Evolution of ageing
Gerontology
Pro-aging trance
Altered intercellular communication
Cellular senescence
Deregulated nutrient sensing
Epigenetic alterations
Genomic instability
Loss of proteostasis
Mitochondrial dysfunction
Stem cell exhaustion
Telomere attrition
Cross-links
Crosslinking of DNA
Free radicals – atom, molecule, or ion that has unpaired valence electrons. With some exceptions, these unpaired electrons make free radicals highly chemically reactive towards other substances, or even towards themselves: their molecules will often spontaneously dimerize or polymerize if they come in contact with each other. They are countered to some extent by antioxidants.
