Abstract
The causes and consequences of aging have always been a concern. In recent studies, changes in the stress response capacity of cells during aging were quantitatively analyzed. It was found that aging was accompanied by a decline in response capacity. When the response capacity decreased to a critical value, which we assumed was the internal noise level, the cell soon died. To survive, the response capacity should be, at minimum, sufficiently strong to resist intracellular noise. Here, we discuss the role of stress response capacity in aging and conjecture that lifespan might be extended by enhancing stress response capacity.
