Evolutionary and mechanistic theories of aging
TL;DR: A concise review of both evolutionary and mechanistic theories of aging is presented, describing the development of the general evolutionary theory, along with the mutation accumulation, antagonistic pleiotropy, and disposable soma versions of the evolutionary model.

TL;DR: Surprisingly, many gene expression changes previously attributed to aging, such as down-regulation of neural genes, initiate in early childhood, suggesting a direct link between developmental regulation and expression changes taking place in aging.
Increased daily work precipitates natural death in the kestrel
TL;DR: An analysis of the time of death in 63 cases where kestrels, Falco tinnunculus L. had raised broods of manipulated size and were subsequently reported freshly dead confirms the interpretation of the manipulation effects on local survival as due to mortality rather than emigration.

Cellular senescence in renal ageing and disease
TL;DR: How senotherapy, or targeting of senescent cells, might be used to improve renal function with normal ageing, disease, or therapy-induced damage is addressed.

Selection on stress resistance increases longevity in Drosophila melanogaster.
TL;DR: This paper showed that selection for increased resistance to starvation and desiccation in Drosophila melanogaster leads to increased longevity, indicating that alleles that increase stress resistance also may increase longevity.
