Summary:Approaches to teaching the cell biology of aging (cytogerontology), within the appropriate agreements by scientists of the Biological Faculty of Moscow State University and at the Department of Life Science and Engineering of Harbin Institute of Technology (China), are described. The authors draw attention to certain differences in teaching biology between the two institutions and emphasize the significance of a system approach to teaching cytogerontology. This approach makes it absolutely necessary to introduce the course on the basics of biology of aging. It is concluded that full perception of the data from modern molecular cell cytogerontological research, by the students from both institutions, is impossible without understanding the fundamental notions and definitions used in both theoretical and experimental gerontology.
