The world’s population is ageing rapidly. The effects of this change in demographics are predicted to touch on many facets of human life. Not least, because the health of older people deteriorates with time. Nature’s latest in its “collections” series draws together recent articles on the process of ageing, and the connections that exist between growing older and disease.

You can read the collection online, where it is free-access, or order a free print copy.

A collection of articles on the same subject, the Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology web focus on ageing, can be seen here.
