PLoS Genetics: Aging: Bench to Bedside
This collection focuses on a rapidly evolving field in which the study of both species-specific and ubiquitous aging mechanisms informs the biological process of aging. Yet the field is not without substantial controversy. Differing views arise as we come to understand aging across model systems — from bacteria to humans.
