M Yaar et al. Clin Geriatr Med. 2001 Nov.

Aging is a complex process influenced by telomere shortening and damage to cellular DNA. New insights into age-associated decrements in DNA damage repair are reviewed. Age-associated gross, histologic, and functional cutaneous deficits are delineated. Different treatment options for aged skin are examined.
