Factors

We need to know every factor which determines lifespan.

Lifespan factors often but not always originate from defined genetic elements. They are not just genes, by definition they can be anything for which a Classifications schema can be build for that is related to the regulation of lifespan, such entities may include Single-Nucleotide Polymorphism, transcript variants, proteins and their complexes, compounds (i.e. small molecules like metabolites and drugs), etc. A factor should be based on a defined molecular entity or genomic position and been classified. It shall be highly flexible and scalable Concept.

While individual lifespan factors within each species or precise defined molecular entities will be captured within the Lifespan App, Data Entries of the Data App may summarize for instance the relevance of each factor class (e.g. homologous group; chemical derivate of related structure and properties, etc.) as well as draw overall conclusions. o

    CCL11 chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 11 CCL11 exhibits an age-related increase in the plasma and cerebrospinal fluid from healthy human individuals between 20 and 90 years [21886162]. Human
    CCL2 chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 2 CCL2 levels in plasma increase with age and it is part of the senescence-associated secretory phenotype [19648977]. Human
    SST Somastatin Two with age-related differential methylation markers lay within Somastatin (SST) [23177740] which declines with age and is linked to Alzheimer's disease [15778722]. Human
