Informationen zum Autor Walter Pierpaoli is the author of Reversal of Aging: Resetting the Pineal Clock (Fourth Stromboli Conference on Aging and Cancer), Volume 1057, published by Wiley. Klappentext The body of research on the process of human aging has grown considerably in recent years, and the reports presented here explore a full range of approaches to this research, from the molecular and genetic to the cellular and organismic levels. The contributing scientists identify the processes of aging and find functional and mechanistic approaches that may delay, prevent, or arrest the progress of aging and those ailments generally linked to senescence, such as metabolic, cardiovascular, and autoimmune diseases. The investigation of various approaches to the prevention of aging will include efforts to mitigate the deleterious consequences of chemical pollution.
