While the exact causes of mammalian aging are not known, the decline in replicative capacity of cells appears to be a factor. Activation of a particular gene, p16INK4a, causes the cell to arrest in a state of senescence at once suppressing cancer while attenuating its ability to replicate. Thus p16 may function via aging as [...]
