Mechanisms of ageing: public or private?

Nature reviews. Genetics - 1 Mar 2002

Partridge Linda, Gems David

Abstract excerpt

Ageing--the decline in survival and fecundity with advancing age is caused by damage to macromolecules and tissues. Ageing is not a programmed process, in the sense that no genes are known to have evolved specifically to cause damage and ageing. Mechanisms of ageing might therefore not be expecte...
