Cells Aging and Human Disease

This is the first textbook to explain human aging from genes to clinical disease. With over 4000 references it explores both the fundamental processes of aging and the resultant tissue-by-tissue clinical pathology detailing both breaking research and current state-of-the art clinical interventions in aging and age-related disease. It is the only book on the market to emphasize the theory of aging as caused by cell senescence rather than the traditionally held wear-and-tear theory.
