Aging Under the Microscope: A Biological Quest
Where gerontologists once looked for a single, all-encompassing theory to explain aging—a single gene, for instance, or the decline of the immune system—they are now finding multiple processes, combining and interacting on many levels. Cells, proteins, tissues, and organ systems are all involved, and gerontologists are now able to discern many more of the mechanisms by which these components cause or react to aging.
