The Role of DNA Damage and Repair in Cell Aging (Advances in Cell Aging and Gerontology)
Elsevier Science, 2001
Aging occurs at the level of individual cells, a complex interplay between intrinsic "programming" and exogenous "wear and tear", with genetically-determined cellular capacity to repair environmentally-induced DNA damage playing a central role in the rate of aging and its specific manifestations. In 12 chapters, "The Role of DNA Damage and Repair in Cell Aging" provides an intellectual framework ...

DNA Replication and Human Disease (Cold Spring Harbor Monograph) (Cold Spring Harbor Monograph) (Cold Spring ...
Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, 2006
At least 5 trillion cell divisions are required for a fertilized egg to develop into an adult human, resulting in the production of more than 20 trillion meters of DNA! And yet, with only two exceptions, the genome is replicated once and only once each time a cell divides. How is this feat accomplished? What happens when errors occur? This book addresses these questions by presenting a thorough ...
