AGING INTERVENTIONS AND THERAPIES

edited by Suresh I S Rattan (University of Aarhus, Denmark)

This comprehensive volume surveys the molecular, cellular, hormonal, nutritional, medical and lifestyle strategies being tested and applied for the prevention, intervention and treatment of age-related diseases. With authoritative contributions not just from researchers in academic institutions and pharmaceutical and cosmeceutical industries, but also practicing clinicians of both mainstream and alternative medicine, demographers and bioethicists, this book provides unique scientific, ethical and social perspectives on the discussion of aging intervention. In addition, the latest technologies in development, which will have serious bearings on future aging interventions, are reviewed.

Aging Interventions and Therapies is ideal for graduates and undergraduates in universities and medical and nursing colleges, as well as post-graduates researching different aspects of aging and anti-aging. The topics covered are also highly relevant for professionals in the pharmaceutical, cosmeceutical, nutrition and healthcare industries, and practicing clinicians looking for a reliable and up-to-date resource on aging intervention and therapy.

“This book tackles a frontier medicine and has the merit to have harmoniously ‘cross-linked’ opinion leaders in many different aspects of the field, rendering it very amenable to students, basic scientists and clinicians, and is an absolute must for the dedicated researchers.”
