Genes and Aging

Genes and Aging The maximum life span of multicellular organisms varies greatly: for a fruitfly it is about 30 days, for a dog about 20 years, and for a human about 100 years The basic cause of aging in these organisms (eukaryotes) lies at the level of genes. This book reviews the biology of the gene in relation to aging. Autor: M. S.
