Humana Aging Methods and Protocols: 38 - Molecular Medicine

Explore the complex biological processes of aging with Aging Methods and Protocols: 38 from the Methods in Molecular Medicine series. This volume provides an examination of how aging functions as a universal process within biological systems, leading to a decline in functional capacity and the onset of disease. As interest grows in understanding the molecular mechanisms behind the aging process, this text addresses the various theories proposed over the last century. While no single theory explains the complete phenotype of aging, this book examines how genetics and environmental factors influence the etiology of age-related pathologies. It serves as a resource for understanding the science behind the aging process and the biological factors that contribute to its progression.
