Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) and the molecular hallmarks of aging

class="figure-viewer-img"

Figure 1. Schematic representation of lncRNAs affecting six major molecular traits of aging.

The lncRNAs indicated have been implicated in controlling telomere length, epigenetic gene expression, proteostasis, the pool of stem cells, cell proliferation and senescence, and communication among cells.
