Abstract:
Age estimation was one of the important and difficult contents in forensic medicine research and practice. Age estimation was mainly based on bone age and dental age in present. However, the errors were large, and it was influenced by other factors. In recent years, following with the development of molecular biology theories and techniques, researchers have found that some cellular and molecular levels were related to age. In this review, the research progress of molecular biology in age estimation was reviewed.
