Abstract excerpt
Genomic instability is recognized as one of the primary mechanisms that lead to organismal aging. When genomic maintenance systems, such as nucleotide excision repair, are defective, genomic instability is promoted, which causes accelerated aging (progeria). This can be observed in humans as well as in mouse models of progeroid syndromes. The role of genomic instability related to nuclear DNA is currently under...
