Items related to Longevity: Past, Present and Future
Dr. Johan Borksten is one of the most active and effective students of longevity in the world. For many years he has carried on scientific studies relating to longevity. Forty- four years ago he formulated the biochemical crosslinkage theory of aging. This theory consists in part on the idea that with the passage of time some of the large molecules in the human body are linked to one another by covalent bonds that resist disruption, so that the substances, mainly proteins, become insoluble and resistant to attack by enzymes. The cross-linking changes the nature of the structures constituting the human body in a way characteristic of aging. (excerpt from Foreword) Contents: Section I - Following The Thread Of Longevity.
