The Mathematical Essence of Aging - Theoretically Speaking

Simons Institute via YouTube

Overview

Explore the mathematical principles underlying aging in this comprehensive lecture by Uri Alon from the Weizmann Institute of Science. Delve into large-scale medical data analysis and the development of simplified mathematical models for complex physiological systems. Discover insights on human hormone seasonality and a stochastic equation for damage accumulation that explains age-related disease incidence. Learn about potential optimal treatments for aging that could reduce multiple age-related diseases by addressing their core processes. The talk covers topics such as demographics, Markov's Law, biology of aging, senescent cells, mouse models, and mathematical assumptions in aging research.
