LONGECITY

I want to read more about the damage accumulation theory of aging.

Can you recommend me some reading?

You may have read some of them, but they may be good for starting:

Here is an older topic of mine about with an overview study of the various theories:

An overview on the aging theories and potential interventions to extend life
http://www.longecity...to-extend-life/

Then there is the fightaging blog summaries:

The Root Causes of Aging

• Aging is Caused by Damage
• Accumulating Cross-Links
• Buildup of Amyloid Between Cells
• The Failing Adaptive Immune System
• The Failing Innate Immune System
• Declining Lysosomal Function
• Mitochondrial DNA Damage
• Nuclear DNA Damage
• Buildup of Senescent Cells

and those of the SENS homepage:

Aging as We've Known It - http://sens.org/rese...s-weve-known-it

and the Introduction to SENS research

http://sens.org/rese...o-sens-research

And maybe the Wikipedia with the links:

Ageing - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ageing

Senescence - http://en.wikipedia....wiki/Senescence

Also a Pubmed search may give you some relevant material to read.
