Produktbeschreibung

"Longest Lifespans" explores the extraordinary world of animals that defy aging, offering insights into the biological secrets behind their remarkable longevity. From the Greenland shark, which can live for centuries, to the Turritopsis dohrnii jellyfish, seemingly immortal, the book delves into the genetic and environmental factors that contribute to their extended lifespans.
One intriguing area of research is the study of DNA repair mechanisms in these creatures, which appear to be far more efficient than in shorter-lived species. Another is cellular senescence, a process that seems to be significantly delayed or even avoided in some of these animals.
The book investigates how these unique adaptations could hold the key to understanding and potentially extending human healthspan. By examining the biology of these long-lived animals, researchers hope to unlock crucial information about the aging process and translate these discoveries into strategies for promoting healthy aging in humans.
The book begins by establishing a scientific context, then progresses through specific animal examples and the biological mechanisms at play, culminating in a discussion of potential applications for human health and highlighting the significance of genetics and life sciences in this field.
