The "rate-of-living theory" is an ancient explanation of longevity which holds that aging occurs due to the exhaustion of some finite substance-breaths, heartbeats, etc. While this theory as originally conceived has been debunked, new work (Ruzankina et al. [2007], in this issue of Cell Stem Cell) suggests that mammals in fact do have a finite number of stem cell replications per life.
“生活速率理论”是一种关于长寿的古老解释,该理论认为衰老的发生是由于某种有限物质(气息、心跳等)的耗尽。虽然最初提出的这一理论已被推翻,但新的研究工作(鲁赞基娜等人,《细胞干细胞》本期,2007年)表明,事实上哺乳动物一生中干细胞的复制次数是有限的。
