Springer Aging Research in Yeast: 57 (Subcellular Biochemistry)

Aging Research in Yeast: 57 provides a deep look into the biological mechanisms of aging through the lens of fungal models. Published by Springer as part of the Subcellular Biochemistry series, this volume brings together contributions from leading experts in the field of yeast aging research. By studying budding yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) and other fungal organisms, researchers can gain insights into aging processes that are relevant to both organismic aging and the human body. The text explores replicative aging, where the mother cell ages while the daughter cell resets its biological clock. This serves as a vital model for understanding the aging of stem cell populations in humans. Additionally, the volume covers chronological aging, measured by survival in the stationary phase. This provides a model for aging processes occurring in postmitotic cells, such as human neurons. This book is an essential resource for those studying geriatrics, cellular biology, and the fundamental mechanics of how life cycles evolve at a subcellular level.
