Description
Description
Biology of Aging Accelerators: Fundamentals, Hallmarks and Therapeutic Interventions explores how biological, genetic, and environmental factors affect cellular and systemic homeostasis and lead to accelerated aging. The book begins with a historical perspectives, highlighting the growth in immune system deterioration, chronic illness, and social issues. It then examines the hallmarks of aging, including primary, antagonistic, and integrative characteristics that may or may not be contributors. Subsequent chapters explore basic concepts and key accelerators in human biology, the role of biological clocks, and mechanisms of aging accelerators such as cellular senescence, DNA damage, and mitochondrial dysfunction.
The book also addresses how different organs age at different rates and the brain's role as the body's aging integrator and provides actionable insights into innovative therapies aimed at reducing or stopping the signs and symptoms of aging, including developments in medications, lifestyle adjustments, regenerative medicine, and cutting-edge technologies like stem cell therapy and CRISPR. By integrating scientific research and practical insights, this book offers a realistic perspective on anti-aging research and stimulates novel ideas for improving quality of life.
