Abstract:With increasing age, cellular senescence and physiological dysregulation proceed, reducing somatic resilience, increasing frailty, and leading to increased physical disability, morbidity, and mortality. By promoting variability in somatic outcomes, developmental processes and environmental and ecological settings set the stage for senescent biology and variable lifespans. Early life adversity forces organisms to expend more physiological capacity resisting stressors, while environments limiting stressor exposu… Show more
