There are 3 excellent essays on gerontology by *Roy Walford*, *Aubrey de
Grey* and *Mike Fossel* at the new Geron-Sci (Longevity-Digest) site, URL:
http://faculty.ucr.edu/~browley/index.htm
Roy Walford's essay on caloric restriction is the most up-to-date
review of the subject I've ever read. Aubrey de Grey's essay is a
fascinating treatment of mitochondrial aging, which incorporates
his own acclaimed and novel theory of aging originally published in
Bioessays. Mike Fossel, famous gerontological author, has written an
essay concisely justifying the telomere theory of aging, which has
become more pertinent recently in light of breakthroughs at Geron Corp.
The design of the site is still in process, and might not be finished for
quite some time. Lisa Walford (Roy's daughter) did graphics for the site,
but I then became overcommitted and had to put the project on hold so it's
stalled in an unfinished state. I imagine I'll have more time for
the Longevity-Digest list and its web site during the summer, though I
will delegate all editing and other work to volunteers. I'm hoping only
to organize the list, dividing the nitty gritty among many. Gone are the
days when I had time to edit messages in person.
Anyway, do check out the site,
Brian
