Biological aging is explained by established evolutionary and cellular theories of senescence
the verdict
SUPPORTED
the evidence backs this
confidence 79/100
The retrieved evidence strongly supports the claim that biological aging is explained by established evolutionary theories (such as antagonistic pleiotropy and mutation accumulation) and cellular mechanisms (such as cellular senescence, telomere attrition, and mitochondrial dysfunction).
