Beschreibung
Aging affects us all and is characterized not only by increasing frailty but by increased susceptibility to conditions such as Alzheimer’s, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. We are gaining an increasing understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying aging, however, and uncovering clues to how life may be prolonged. This book examines the biological basis of aging and research into strategies that may extend lifespan
