Discussion of all aspects of cellular structure, physiology and
communication. 2 posts • Page 1 of 1 Hi everyone, so this entry
is just about something that occurred to me recently that I
couldn't find much information on, and I decided to try and
focus my thoughts on it and write it out as clearly as I could.
The following represents my understanding of the subject, so
feel free to call me on any mistakes or incorrect assumptions I
may have made, or if you feel I didn't explain something in the
piece coherently enough. Any thoughts on the matter are greatly
appreciated. The overwhelming majority of all cells in the human
body have a fixed lifespan. As they deteriorate and accumulate
damage over time, they will inevitably reach a point where they
are too damaged or senescent to continue functioning efficiently
and correctly. When this happens, the cell is metabolised and
replaced by a new cell. The central argument that I will develop
focuses around the fact that this cycle of cellular life is
perpetuated num
