Molecular, Cellular, and Metabolic Fundamentals of Human Aging provides researchers with an overview of the main aging mechanisms and physiology and how they can lead to age-related diseases and conditions. Topics covered include DNA damage and how ineffective repair can lead to cell and tissue aging and decreased functionality, loss of proteostasis, changes to feeding and fasting pathways, mitochondrial dysfunction, the impact of decreased ability of autophagosomes and autophagosomes, cellular senescence, changes to communication molecules, and the impact of stem cell exhaustion.
The book also considers the impact of aging within the immune system, the relationship between aging and diseases such as cancers and neurodegenerative conditions, and provides an overview on the dialogue surrounding the topic of aging beyond basic biology.

"This comprehensive book .is a very worthy endeavor . [U]nderstanding the factors that lead to age-related biological changes and associated diseases is critically important to advancing medical treatment . [It] emphasizes lifestyle modification and healthy living practices, which is welcome . [P]rovides an overview of the various molecular and cellular theories of aging physiology and pathology, . [examining] genetics, protein-related processes, immune system principles, calorie reduction, and other theories believed to underlie biological changes in human aging, ultimately leading to senescence and death . This book is very good well written and researched, and covers a wide range of topics without any significant omissions. [A]chieves its goals with good use of figures/images which are nicely done." --©Doody s Review Service, 2023, Belinda Setters, MD, MS, FACP, AGSF (Robley Rex VA Medical Center)
