Abstract: The world has heralded the coming of an aging era and the health issues of aging and aging-related diseases have become inevitable challenges to all countries. The key challenges to the health system， research institutions and the society are how to maintain healthy aging， how to intervene the development of aging-related diseases and how to slow down the aging process. In the past few decades， there have been tremendous advances in comprehending the molecular mechanism of aging， the biology and genetics of aging and the pathogenesis of aging-related diseases. However， these research advances have not attained to the ultimate goal in slowing down aging process in humans and curing aging-related diseases. This review will summarize most recent advances in the research of aging with a focus on the molecular mechanism and intervention strategies.
