Rates of tissue aging within an animal are coordinated through a complex network of intra-and intercellular signaling pathways.Due to the complexity of this multifactorial aging mechanism, a variety of molecular targets have been identified as age determinates across a number of model organisms ranging from yeast to primates (Kenyon, 2010). In multicellular organisms, the ability of these molecules to act across tissues and connect organ systems plays a critical role in animal physiology and age determination. The nervous
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
