Genetic and epigenetic regulation of aging.

Abstract excerpt

Many age-associated conditions, such as the decrease in regenerative capacity of tissues, appear to be determined by a decline in the function of specific somatic stem cells. Although it is obvious that the genotype determines the average lifespan of different species, the variation in lifespan of individuals within a species seems to be more affected by the accumulation over time of molecular errors that...
