title: Cellular ageing.
abstract: Ageing is characterized by several modifications at the molecular and cellular levels. Although none of the functional or structural changes can be regarded as peculiar to old age, some relevant features can be found in the cells. Cell organization becomes structurally uneven and functionally disharmonious. The onset of ageing, however, cannot be accounted for simply in terms of structural and physiological deterioration. Attempts have therefore been made to work out a comprehensive approach which might be able to provide a sensible solution to the problem.
