Size, longevity and cancer: age structure
There is significant recent interest in Peto's paradox and the related problem of the evolution of large, long-lived organisms in terms of cancer robustness. Peto's paradox refers to the expectation that large, long-lived organisms have a higher lifetime cancer risk, which is not the case: a paradox. This paradox, however, is circular: large, long-lived organisms are large and long-lived becaus...
متن کاملAge versus schooling effects on intelligence development.
The effect of formal education, as opposed to chronological age, on intelligence development has suffered from inadequate empirical investigation. Most studies of this issue have relied on natural variation in exposure to school among children of the same age, thus confounding differences in schooling with differences in other intelligence-related variables. This difficulty can be overcome by a...
متن کاملPTEN, Longevity and Age-Related Diseases
Since the discovery of PTEN, this protein has been shown to be an effective suppressor of cancer and a contributor to longevity. This report will review, in depth, the associations between PTEN and other molecules, its mutations and regulations in order to present how PTEN can be used to increase longevity. This report will collect recent research of PTEN and use this to discuss PTEN's role in ...
متن کاملAge and schooling effects on early literacy and phoneme awareness.
Previous research on age and schooling effects is largely restricted to studies of children who begin formal schooling at 6years of age, and the measures of phoneme awareness used have typically lacked sensitivity for beginning readers. Our study addresses these issues by testing 4 to 6year-olds (first 2years of formal schooling in the United Kingdom) on a sensitive dynamic measure of phoneme a...
متن کاملGeographic Variation in Age Structure and Longevity in the Nine-Spined Stickleback (Pungitius pungitius)
Variation in age and size of mature nine-spined sticklebacks (Pungitius pungitius) within and among 16 Fennoscandian populations were assessed using skeletochronology. The average age of individuals in a given population varied from 1.7 to 4.7 years. Fish from pond populations were on average older than those from lake and marine populations, and females tended to be older than males. Reproduct...
