Aging is cell polarity maintenance loss, especially when this loss takes place in the cells that replace us: stem cells. Taken to the extreme are the cancer cells which are symmetrical and show no contact inhibition. Or the senescent cells, too full of damaged material to keep on doing anything useful.

Never linked cell polarity with nutrition until you shared the first link here, thx. Hmmm, it is easy to vary nutrients in yeast culture by adding one at a time versus control in order to see whether certain nutrients modify cell polarity in any way. Certainly, that doesn't mean it will work the same in humans, but it's a way to screen anti-aging substances.
