Splicing regulatory factors, ageing and age-related disease

Highlights • Alternative splicing (AS) is emerging as an important control point of gene expression. • AS allows a single gene to produce several mRNA with diverse biological functions. • AS is deregulated during ageing. • Aberrant AS has deep implications for age-related disease.
