Marijke van der Falk: Cell Ageing, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Blurb

What if aging were not an irreversible fate, but a biological process that can be understood, slowed down, or even reversed? This book takes you deep into the fascinating world of cellular aging - the process that occurs in every cell of our body and determines our life, our health and our future. In a scientifically sound but easy-to-understand way, this work explains how cells age, which molecular mechanisms play a role in this process, and how new therapies, technologies and approaches are fundamentally changing our understanding of aging. Whether senolytics, epigenetic reprogramming, genetic interventions, artificial intelligence or microbiome modulation - research on cellular aging has made breathtaking progress in recent years. This book not only sheds light on the current state of science, but also on the ethical, social and economic issues arising from the prospect of rejuvenating medicine. A book for anyone who not only wants to accept the aging process, but also to understand and shape it - and for anyone curious about the medicine of tomorrow.
