Abstract
Since early years of modern molecular biology, it has been suggested that there must be some functional changes in the flow of genetic information which are almost universal to any type of cells, and hence very likely to be a general cause of functional deterioration during the aging of animals (1,2). In fact, various aspects of transcription and translation have been studied in relation to both the aging of tissues in vivo and cells in culture (3, 4).
