Only 7 Pathogenic Age-related Precursors: Mutations


Two of the seven early precursors of age-related pathology are chromosomal and mitochondrial mutations.

In the former, a single cell needs only a few mutations to lead to death, because of the exponential growth of cancer cells. The latter however is usually benign, but also can reach a threshold which leads to a cascade of damage (see 13-bullet timeline). Even if the other five precursors were controlled or didn't exist, each of these two could still kill us.


Those that lead to cancer (by far the most urgent)
