Abstract:
A recent flurry of activity has signaled the maturing of molecular gerontology. During the 1970s and 1980s, while many complex biological processes were being described and explained at the molecular level, the science of aging seemed to lag somewhat behind. Although the complexityof aging processes remains daunting to the experimentalist, research on aging is on the increase and the molecular processes which determine organismal lifespan are emerging.
