Ian McEwan
“O que você precisa entender é o seguinte. Um gene não é uma coisa. É uma ideia. Uma ideia sobre uma informação. Uma impressão digital é uma coisa, um vestígio.”
Ian McEwan

“Even if it is difficult to use DNA repair to directly improve longevity, our knowledge of it underpins our understanding of virtually every process of aging. Genes ultimately control the entire process of life: when and how much of each protein we make; whether our cells continue to live or suddenly stop dividing; how well our cells sense nutrients in their surroundings and respond to them; and how different molecules and cells communicate with one another. Genes control our immune system, which must maintain the delicate balance of reacting to invading pathogens without inducing chronic inflammation.
Direct damage to our DNA, and the cell’s seemingly paradoxical response to it, is only one of the ways our genetic program can be changed as to cause aging. For our DNA has two peculiarities. The first is that its end segments are special and protected, and the consequences of disrupting them are serious.”
Venki Ramakrishnan, Why We Die: The New Science of Aging and the Quest for Immortality
