摘要

The aging process is the major risk factor for disease and disability yet the cellular mechanisms for aging are uncertain.By studying transgenic mice with altered expression of the DNA repair enzyme,ERCC1,it was concluded that DNA damage is an important,if not the primary mechanism for aging.Moreover it was established that altered activity of the transcription factor,NF-κB (nuclear factor kappa B) mediates the effects of DNA damage on aging.Therefore inhibition of NF-κB might have a role in delaying aging.
