Abstract:
The 4th European Congress of Biogerontology took place in Newcastle upon Tyne in November 2004. Leading figures in the biology of aging presented their recent work, providing new insights into fundamental mechanisms of aging as it occurs in organisms ranging from yeast to the human species. Highlights of these presentations are presented here.

01:19The Effect of Aging on Tissues
Several body functions deteriorate with age. The external signs of aging are easily identifiable. For example, the skin becomes dry, less elastic, and thins out, forming wrinkles. The skin of the face begins to appear looser due to a decrease in the levels of elastic and collagen fibers in the connective tissue. Additionally, melanin production in the hair follicle decreases with age, resulting in gray hair. Moreover, the senses of sight and hearing decline, so glasses and hearing aids may...
