Interplay between cancer and aging in mice: Aging due to reduction in cell proliferation, not molecular damage, data suggest

Cancer risk increases with age, and scientists have long perceived a possible evolutionary tradeoff between longer lifespan and greater risk of cancer. Now, researchers have found direct evidence for that tradeoff in new data showing that expression of a key tumor suppressor protein induces premature aging in mice.
