Dear Colleagues,

This is an information update to my earlier posting to this Discussion Group (Bulletin Board):

"Quest for General Theory of Aging" 20 December 2001 http://sageke.sciencemag.org/cgi/forum- display/short/sageke_el;44?section=Q&A

Since that time (December, 2001), two new publications came out, which are relevant to the topic of this discussion:

"The Quest for the Theory of Human Longevity." The Actuary, 2002, 36(5): 10-13. Full text is also available online at: http://www.src.uchicago.edu/~gavr1/Actuary-paper.pdf

"Aging, In Theory: A Personal Pursuit" The Scientist, 2002, 16(10): 20. Full text is also available online at: http://www.src.uchicago.edu/~gavr1/TheScientist.pdf

Perhaps this new publications could be useful for further possible discussion.

Best wishes,

Leonid Gavrilov
