Abstract excerpt
Research into the causes of aging has greatly increased in recent years. Much of this interest is due to the discovery of genes in a variety of model organisms that appear to modulate aging. Studies of long-lived mutants can potentially provide valuable insights into the fundamental mechanisms of aging. While there are many advantages to the use of model organisms to study aging it is also important to consider...
