title: Molecular biology of aging.
abstract: Aging seems to reflect a patterned program of decline in functional reserves and a reduced ability to maintain homeostasis. Advances in molecular biology have provided new insights into the process of aging at the cellular level. In this review, a few selected models of aging that illustrate the molecular methods and techniques used in aging research are discussed.
