The Biology of Senescence - E-book - ePub

Dive into the intricate world of aging with "The Biology of Senescence: Pathways of Aging and Disease, " a comprehensive exploration of the biological mechanisms that drive the aging process and their profound impact on human health. This book delves into the cellular and molecular underpinnings of aging, revealing the interconnected pathways that contribute to the decline of bodily functions and the onset of age-related diseases.
Uncover the secrets of cellular senescence, where cells cease to divide and secrete harmful factors that disrupt tissue function and promote chronic inflammation. Examine the role of mitochondrial dysfunction, genomic instability, and immune system changes in accelerating the aging process and increasing susceptibility to diseases like cancer, cardiovascular conditions, and neurodegenerative disorders.
