The Epigenetics Behind Human Aging
... methylation is correlated with age-related pathological phenotypes, and why aging is
highly associated with epigenetics. Environmental factors, nourishment, and life
experiences, all affect aging because DNA methylation is regulated by these factors [2].

Xenotransplantation
Xenotransplantation (xenos- from the Greek meaning ""foreign""), is the transplantation of living cells, tissues or organs from one species to another. Such cells, tissues or organs are called xenografts or xenotransplants. In contrast, the term allotransplantation refers to a same-species transplant. Human xenotransplantation offers a potential treatment for end-stage organ failure, a significant health problem in parts of the industrialized world. It also raises many novel medical, legal and ethical issues. A continuing concern is that many animals, such as pigs, have a shorter lifespan than humans, meaning that their tissues age at a quicker rate. Disease transmission (xenozoonosis) and permanent alteration to the genetic code of animals are also causes for concern. A few successful cases of xenotransplantation are published.It is not uncommon for patients and physicians to use the term ""allograft"" imprecisely to refer to either allograft (human-to-human) or xenograft (animal-to-human), but it is helpful scientifically (for those searching or reading the scientific literature) to maintain the more precise distinction in usage.
