Linking DNA damage and senescence to gestation period and lifespan in placental mammals
The mechanism that synchronizes the timing of parturition remains a mystery. Each mammalian species has a specific duration of gestation that is determined by integrated interactions among the mother, placenta, and fetus. Senescence is primarily driven by DNA damage and is one of the critical factor...
