Transcriptomic alterations during ageing reflect the shift from cancer to degenerative diseases in the elderly

Transcriptomic alterations during ageing reflect the shift from cancer to degenerative diseases in the elderly

Ageing is associated with a pronounced shift in mortality from cancer to degenerative diseases. Here, the authors show that in concordance with this shift, conserved transcriptional alterations during ageing across four vertebrates align with degenerative diseases but are opposite to those in cancer...
