The 40(th) anniversary of Cell coincides with that of the National Institute on Aging (NIA). Indeed, Cell papers on NIA-funded research helped move the field into a genetic and molecular era. Now is a fair time to ask whether we are far down a trail leading to a deep understanding of aging or whether we are still tiptoeing cautiously at the trailhead.
《细胞》创刊 40 周年恰逢美国国立老化研究所（NIA）成立 40 周年。实际上，《细胞》杂志上发表的有关 NIA 资助研究的论文推动该领域进入了一个遗传和分子时代。现在是一个恰当的时机，可以问问我们是否已经走在一条通向深入了解衰老的道路上，还是我们仍在这条道路的起点小心翼翼地踮着脚尖。
