Annual review of gerontology and geriatrics. Volume 34, Genetics /
Enormous advances in our knowledge of genetic contributions to aging and disease, and in our understanding of the potential for manipulation of the aging process, have taken place during the past twenty years. This is the first volume in decades to consolidate this research in one place. It provides...
