Genomic instability is the primary hallmark of aging. Since DNA damage is one of the core aspects contributing to genomic instability, it has been long recognized as a critical cause of aging. Here, we summarized the interrelationship between DNA repair and aging, the mechanisms underlying how DNA damage contributes to aging, and discussed the possibility and potential risk of delaying aging by targeting DNA damage repair.
