Understanding Ageing Paperback / softback
by Robin (Division of Applied Physics, CSIRO, Canberra) Holliday
Part of the Developmental and Cell Biology Series series
Paperback / softback
Description
This book presents a completely novel approach to the understanding of ageing, which many believe is an unsolved problem in biology.
It explains why ageing exists in animals, and reviews our understanding of it at the biological level.
This includes a discussion of the origins and evolution of ageing.
The book is not a review of research on ageing, but instead draws on material from a wide range of disciplines, including the very extensive biomedical information about age-related diseases in humans.
Understanding Ageing argues that much research needs to be done on the cellular and molecular aspects of ageing, if the origins of these diseases are to be understood, and their prevention made possible.
This thought-provoking book will appeal to all students and researchers who are interested in ageing, whether they are working in the clinical or basic research sphere.
