Neutrophils in Biological Age & Longevity Paperback / softback
by Patricia Alonso-Fernandez, Monica De la Fuente, Ianire Mate
Paperback / softback
Description
Aging is a heterogeneous process with a progressive and general decrease of the organism functions that leads to a lower ability to adaptively react to changes and preserve homeostasis.
Consequently, with ageing there is an increase in vulnerability to age-associated pathologies or simply the impairment of functions that leads to death.
There are different rates of age-related physiological changes and the "biological age" determines the level of ageing experienced by each individual and therefore his/her life expectancy.
This book discusses research which suggests that the functional parameters studied in neutrophils may be useful markers of "biological age" and predictors of longevity.
