Research progress on DNA damage in aging-related diseases / 中华老年医学杂志

ABSTRACT

DNA damage is one of the research hotspots in the field of aging and related diseases, because it can cause cell cycle arrest and apoptosis, accelerate the body's rate of aging and increase the risk of aging-related diseases.This review will summarize the mechanisms of DNA damage in cells, animal models and individuals and its associations with aging and aging-related diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer's disease and premature aging syndromes.We aim to provide a theoretical framework for anti-aging research and clinical intervention in the treatment of aging-related diseases.
