The cause of aging: cumulative damage from factors such as radiation and smoking causes low expression of long genes

  • No comments
Dutch researchers found that this process happens all the time and damages all genes, but the longer the genes, the more likely they are to be damaged because they have more sites. Especially the great damage is to nerve cells due to their inability to regenerate
