Alive and well? Exploring disease by studying lifespan.

Current opinion in genetics & development - 1 Jun 2014

Brett Jamie O, Rando Thomas A

Abstract excerpt

A common concept in aging research is that chronological age is the most important risk factor for the development of diverse diseases, including degenerative diseases and cancers. The mechanistic link between the aging process and disease pathogenesis, however, is still enigmatic. Nevertheless, measurement of lifespan, as a surrogate for biological aging, remains among the most frequently used assays in aging...
