Abstract
A number of human genes have been identified in which mutations can lead to the accelerated emergence of features of senescence. Studies of these gene s, and of the functions of their protein products, may lead to a clearer un derstanding of the nature of senescence, and could provide clues for ways i n which ageing might be retarded.
