Increase in chromatin entropy drives cellular aging, say researchers

At the center of every cell, highly organized chromatin encodes the program of life with just one set of genes. This is possible because different genes are activated at different stages of life while remaining silent otherwise. Some genes active at previous stages of life are buried deep at the nuclear periphery, and some manage to escape from repression.
