Explains human aging from genes to clinical disease. With over 4,000 references, this book explores both the fundamental processes of aging and the resultant tissue-by-tissue clinical pathology, detailing both research and state-of-the art clinical interventions in aging and age-related disease.
This is the first textbook to explain human aging from genes to clinical disease. With over 4,000 references, it explores both the fundamental processes of aging and the resultant tissue-by-tissue clinical pathology, detailing both breaking research and current state-of-the art clinical interventions in aging and age-related disease. It is the only book on the market to emphasize the theory of aging as caused by cell senescence rather than the traditionally held wear-and-tear theory.
...this book is an imporatant contribution on aging - especially cell senescene - and it, hopefully, stimulates researchers to have a closer more open-minded look at this vital biological process.
