Molecular ageing

As the burden of ageing-associated disorders is increasing, so is our understanding of the molecular and cellular changes that occur during ageing. This knowledge has important medical and social implications as it has the potential of being exploited to delay ageing and the onset of ageing-associated disorders. Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology presents a series of Reviews and Comments on the current understanding of ageing at the molecular level, and on how targeting these ageing-associated changes might increase healthspan and lifespan.
