Functional genetic damages and their possible role in the aging of eukaryote cells.
As a result of investigations of the functional acitivty of eukaryote cells damaged by ionizing radiation and alkylating mutagens under conditions of extreme loading, the authors have suggested that natural aging and aging accelerated by mutagens are based on a process of accumulation of functional genetic damages. The molecular nature of these damages differs from the mutational changes and repairable damages of DNA.
