Aging and Disease: 2.9 Cell Senescence And Tissue Aging
Date posted: 16.07.2018
The human body represents a “system” in the engineering sense: all parts (cells, tissues, organs) are interdependent. To understand how the body functions (and how it ages), we may appropriately s ...Aging and Disease: 2.8 Cell Senescence, Changes In Molecular Turnover, Extracellular Molecules
