Abstract

El envejecimiento es un tema de interés multidisciplinario. Su etio-patogénesis se ha tratado de dilucidar desde hace muchos años, y por ende la manera de retardar su aparición y prevenir la manifestación de enfermedades degenerativas y, en ocasiones, mortales que se hacen más frecuentes a medida que el organismo se envejece.

Múltiples teorías se han desarrollado. En esta revisión se habla de algunas de ellas y de aspectos recientes relacionados con la Biología molecular del envejecimiento.
