  • Title: [Russian/German contacts in discussion on cellular mechanisms of aging and lifespan (author's transl)].
    Author: Duplenko JK.
    Journal: Z Alternsforsch; 1980; 35(3):239-43. PubMed ID: 7006226.
    Abstract:
    This is a brief review of the discussions which took place in natural literature at the end of XIX, and the beginning of XX century concerning the problems of cellular mechanism of aging, animal lifespan, death of metazoa and immortality of protozoa. The participation of German and Russian natural scientists in the discussion of cardinal gerontological questions is specially considered. The close relationship between the gerontological conceptions and the evolutionary ideas is emphasized. The author has established historical continuity of the above conceptions and modern evolutionary approaches to the predetermination of species' lifespan and mechanisms of aging.
