Aging: How Aging Works, How We Reverse Aging, and Prospects for Curing Aging Diseases - Tapa blanda

Acerca del autor

Dr. Fossel has an MD and a PhD in neurobiology from Stanford University where he taught neurobiology and research methods. A clinical professor of medicine, he is considered to be the world foremost expert on telomeres, aging, and age-related disease. He gave the first talk at the NIH on reversal of human aging, published the first articles on the potential of telomeres as a clinical intervention, and authored the first and only medical textbook in this field. He was editor-in-chief of Rejuvenation Research and the director of the American Aging Association, and as well as the current Editor-in-Chief OBM Geriatrics. He has authored more than 100 books, chapters, and articles, including The Telomerase Revolution, which the Wall Street Journal praised as one of the best science books of the year. He is the president of Telocyte, a biotech firm taking telomere therapy to FDA human trials. He has fulfilled numerous invitations to chair academic conferences and give opening keynotes.

De la contraportada

Aging: How Aging Works, How We Reverse Aging, and Prospects for Curing Aging Diseases explains the simplified “wear-and-tear of aging beyond entropy, to expose it as the complicated process that it is. With this new understanding of the aging process, intervention becomes both easy to understand and implement.

With a solid academic approach, the proposed book builds upon the substantial work published over the past 16 years, citing the newest data, up-to-date models based upon that data, and the implications for improved clinical care, including recent developments in gene and cell therapy. Coverage includes age-related diseases including neurodegenerative, cardiovascular, bone and joints, immune system, and skin. Future directions of the field are discussed among interventions where a summary of previous attempts to intervene in aging and age-related disease is discussed including the status of current research and proposed interventions in the biotech industry, as well as the obstacles and potential benefits.

This is the perfect reference for scientists and researchers interested in the basic translational research opportunities such as drug discovery, pharmacogenetics, and experimental therapeutics; as well as clinicians interested in how the AI applications are integrated with applications with focus on digital pathology and personalized medicine.
