Published: February 2012

The authors develop a new concept most fully reflecting the evolutional and biological role of peptides in the organism. Wide spectrum of peptide effects realized through regulation of the expression of certain genes is aimed at the maintenance of homeostasis, inhibition of the genetic aging program realization, and lifespan prolongation.
