Mysteries of the Cell

The smallest structural unit in your body is the cell. It is truly a remarkable entity simply because it is alive. It moves, grows, reacts, protects itself and even reproduces. And so far, despite the most elaborate and learned research attempting to understand the nature of that aliveness, it remains a mystery. No matter from what perspective you view aging, you are ultimately looking at changes in life energy which take place over a period of time. A major goal of ageless aging on a cellular level is making sure that everything functions properly to ensure good energy production and to keep the life machinery of cells ticking over as the years pass much as it does in a healthy person of say twenty-five. To understand just how complex a task this is and just what is involved in fulfilling it you need to understand something about the structure and function of these little miracles of nature - the cells from which your body is built.

The Cell as an Energy Factory

Each cell - and there are trillions of them in the human body - is like a factory complex. The famous American biochemist Roger Williams describes this very well when he says:

Every cell has its own power plant from which it derives its energy. The burning process from which energy is derived is a highly ordered, many-step process in which many different catalysts are involved. Each catalyst (enzyme) is protein in nature and is made up of hundreds of amino acids (and often vitamins) put together in exactly the right way. The power plant makes it possible for every cell to be highly dynamic. Something is happening every microsecond. Complex chemical transformations - filtering, ultrafiltering, emulsifying, dispersion, aggregating, absorption - are continually in progress. Tearing down, building up, and repairing are constantly going on.

He continues:

Cells have their own ways of designing and making blueprints; `printing' and duplicating are very much in evidence. Cells also have their own versions of assembly lines. They have transportation systems; sorting, pumping, and streaming; and molecules riding piggyback on others are common processes. Intricate mechanisms, including feedbacks, are used by cells to regulate their numerous activities. Cells have communication systems - messages and messengers. They have the equivalent of both an intercom system and devices for sending and receiving messages to and from the outside. Cells are equipped with sewage and disposal systems. They even have in effect pollution-control mechanisms whereby toxic molecules are converted into others which are relatively harmless.

This marvelous creation of nature - the tiny cell - is superbly ordered in its functions and structure. On this order depends your body's youthfulness and longevity. But because it is so complex each part of the cellular mechanism is also highly subject to disorder. And when a cell becomes deranged, its entire function can be seriously impaired. Multiply one deranged cell times the thousand million million cells in your body and you experience what is known in modern medicine as degenerative disease and aging.

Cellular Order - Foundation of Ageless Aging

At its outer edge each cell is surrounded by a protective membrane built mostly from lipids or fats. Through this membrane all nutrients and oxygen must pass to keep the cell alive and all wastes must be eliminated. Inside the cell lies a gel-like ocean of cytoplasm which contains a variety of subcellular bodies - fat protein complexes - called organelles which take part in cell functions. The organelles include microsomes which make new proteins, lysosomes which are like automatic waste collectors whose job it is to keep the cytoplasmic ocean unpolluted, and mitochondria - minute energy factories. Each cell also has a nucleus in its center. Here all the genetic details of its structure and functions are carefully locked away in molecules of DNA, so that when a cell gets ready to divide, another nucleic acid called RNA carries the DNA's coded instruction to get the correct amino acids for the synthesis of new proteins.

Just like the cell itself, every organelle it contains is encased within a protective membrane. These membranes are very important to the integrity of a living cell and to protecting the body as a whole from aging and illness. If they are disrupted, chaos can ensue: wastes can leak into the cytoplasm and cause the cell to poison itself, enzymes contained in the mitochondria can cause serious biological disruption, and damage to the DNA within the nucleus in turn can lead to a missynthesis of protein and the production of a mutant or damaged daughter cell. In fact all of these detrimental changes appear to take place as your body ages. Preventing them and protecting the integrity of each individual cell within any biological system is the central issue in preventing age-degeneration. And one of life's great paradoxes is that amongst the worst threats to cellular order and integrity on many different levels is the one element without which we cannot live even for a few minutes: oxygen.

The Two Faces of Oxygen

Two billion years ago - give or take a few million years - a profound change took place on earth which dramatically affected evolution: plant life came into being. These first primitive plants started to release oxygen into the atmosphere by breaking down water in the presence of sunlight through a process called photosynthesis. In the beginning this `new' element oxygen was lethal to almost every living organism. The few creatures who managed to survive could do so only by continually adapting to

its presence in their system. Slowly these early simple animals evolved ways of doing this. They created protective mechanisms against oxygen toxicity. And they found ways of using oxygen to create energy - so successfully in fact that by now oxygen has become the potent impetus behind most metabolic processes that fuel complex forms of animal life.

Yet oxygen's toxicity is still with us. Expose yourself to levels of oxygen beyond what you are used to - around one fifth of an atmosphere of pressure - and you can become ill. For instance breathe in pure oxygen at 1 atmosphere for a few hours and you will develop inflammation in the trachea. Stay in such an atmosphere for days on end and, ironically, soon you will die from a condition called anoxia which means lack of oxygen. Even the oxygen we take in through the air we normally breathe is still highly toxic to many essential life processes on a cellular level because oxygen tends to combine with other substances and to wreak havoc with delicate cell structures causing disorder. It is a disorder which is central to the whole process of aging.
