Comments on: Towards a systems view of aging http://www.anti-agingfirewalls.com/2010/04/28/towards-a-systems-view-of-aging/ A weblog on the sciences and practices of living healthily very long - perhaps hundreds of years.

It is a very strange case of physical development arrest. Study of this case may tell us something about early-stage aging as related to development but my guess is that it is unlikely to tell us much about post-maturity aging or how lives may be extended. The obvious point is that there is an aging program that starts with conception. Verious bugs in the aging program can impede normal development to maturity, as in the case of the boy described in the article. While many researchers do not think there is an aging program that continues after maturity, several including myself think that in effect there is one or several. In my treatise I have discussed two frameworks for such a program, Programmed Epigenomic Changes and Stem Cell Supply Chain Breakdown. Vince Hi Vincent
