A surprising statistical regularity has been found in how a variety of genetic and environmental factors affect the life span of the C. elegans worm. These findings suggest that aging does not have a single discrete molecular cause but is rather a systemic process involving many components within a complex biological network. Perturb any node in the system, and you affect the whole thing.
