Abstract
The approaches to teaching, as part of the appropriate agreements, the cell biology of aging (cytogerontology) by scientists of the School of Biology of Lomonosov Moscow State University at the Department of Life Science and Engineering of Harbin Institute of Technology (China) are described. Drawing attention to some differences in teaching biology between two institutions the authors emphasize the importance of system approach to the cytogerontology studying. The approach makes absolutely necessary an introductory course on basics of biology of aging. It is concluded that literal perception of the data of modern molecular-cell cytogerontological investigations by the students from both institutions is impossible without understanding the fundamental notions and definitions used in both theoretical and experimental gerontology.
