Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Leichte Gebrauchsspuren; Leichte Verschmutzung / Farbtonveränderung. In Chance, Development, and Aging , two leading biological gerontologists review and evaluate all of the available data to elucidate the respective roles played by genes and chance developmental events in determining the course of aging in individuals. The combination of genetic and externalenvironmental influences provides only an incomplete answer. Inbred laboratory animals, for example, exhibit a wide range of life spans despite having nearly identical genes and environments. Similarly, uncovering the genetic risks for Alzheimer's disease has not enabled doctors to predict withconfidence its onset and severity. This book argues that understanding chance events, specifically random variations during prenatal development, is essential for answering these questions. The book draws on the extensive research in developmental biology on random variations in form and function,while putting this research in a new context. The discussion sheds light on a range of questions, from understanding menopause to explaining why identical twins are not truly identical. The book will be invaluable for gerontologists, geneticists, developmental and reproductive biologists,physiologists, and a broad range of physicians and investigators in experimental medicine.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. The Fifth Edition of the Handbook of the Biology of Aging continues the tradition of providing a comprehensive overview of some of the most important topics in biomedical gerontology. Beginning with an introduction to concepts and theories of aging, the book is then divided into three main sections covering cellular processes in organismic aging, systemic factors in organismic aging, and models of retarded aging. The book closes with a look at the future of biomedical research as it relates to aging, health, and longevity.…

Zustand: gut. * Umfang/Format: XII, 230 Seiten : Illustrationen, graph. Darst. ; 24 cm * Erscheinungsjahr: 1996 Der Prozeß des Alterns ist uns allen wohlvertraut, und doch wissen die meisten von uns nur wenig über seine Ursachen und seine Steuerung. Selbst innerhalb der Wissenschaft stehen verschiedene Erklärungsansätze und Alternstheorien konkurrierend nebeneinander. Neben den naheliegenden physiologischen Forschungsansatz - also die Suche nach den molekularen, zellulären und systematischen Mechanismen des Alterns - tritt dabei die evolutionsbiologische Betrachtungsweise, die nach den entwicklungsgeschichtlichen Wurzeln des Alterns fragt. Die Erkenntnisse beider Ansätze sind in diesem Buch zu einem faszinierenden Gesamtbild zusammengefügt: von der Altersstruktur in Tiergesellschaften bis zur Alzheimer-Krankheit, von der potentiellen Unsterblichkeit einzelliger Lebensformen bis zum Traum von der ewigen Jugend spannt sich der Bogen dieses fesselnden interdisziplinären Überblicks über das "Wie" und "Warum" des Alterns. gepflegtes Exemplar, nur kleine Lesespuren,als Remittende gezeichnet * Verlag: Heidelberg ; Berlin ; Oxford : Spektrum, Akad.

We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Good. pp. 210, rijk geïllustreerd English Aging, A Natural History by Robert E. Ricklefs and Caleb E. Finch explores the phenomenon of aging from biological, ecological, and evolutionary perspectives. The authors examine how and why aging occurs across the animal kingdom, comparing human aging with that of other species. They discuss genetic and environmental factors, physiological mechanisms, and the evolutionary trade-offs that shape life spans. Written for the Scientific American Library, the book combines accessible explanations with scientific rigor and is richly illustrated with photographs, charts, and diagrams. …

Hardback. Zustand: Good. Written by Caleb Finch, one of the leading scientists of our time, The Biology of Human Longevity: Inflammation, Nutrition, and Aging in the Evolution of Lifespans synthesizes several decades of top research on the topic of human aging and longevity particularly on the recent theories of inflammation and its effects on human health. The book expands a number of existing major theories, including the Barker theory of fetal origins of adult disease to consider the role of inflammation and Harmon's free radical theory of aging to include inflammatory damage. Future increases in lifespan are challenged by the obesity epidemic and spreading global infections which may reverse the gains made in lowering inflammatory exposure. This timely and topical book will be of interest to anyone studying aging from any scientific angle.…
