Description
Biology of Aging, 2nd Edition by Roger B. McDonald provides a detailed examination of the fundamental biological processes that drive aging in living organisms. The text integrates current research in genetics, molecular biology, and physiology to explain how aging affects different biological systems.
This edition covers key topics including cellular senescence, telomere shortening, mitochondrial dysfunction, and age-related diseases. McDonald explores evolutionary theories of aging, genetic factors influencing longevity, and environmental stressors that accelerate the aging process. The book addresses both basic biological mechanisms and their practical implications for understanding age-related disorders.
Designed for students and researchers in gerontology, biology, and medicine, this comprehensive resource bridges theoretical concepts with contemporary scientific discoveries. It serves as an essential reference for anyone seeking to understand the complex biological foundations of aging and potential interventions.
