Synopsis
Comprehension of the theories of aging requires rudimentary knowledge of oxidation and reduction reactions, protein function, cell organelles, mitosis, acquired immunity, and evolution, among other basic biological concepts. Without these fundamentals, students of biological aging struggle to learn the essentials of biological aging and how to appreciate the research advances in the field. Human Biological Aging: From Macromolecules To Organ-Systems is an introduction to human aging from the level of macromolecules to organ systems. Age changes in proteins, DNA, polysaccharides and lipids are discussed relative to known age-related alterations in structure and function produced by free radicals and oxidants. At the cellular level, age-dependent mechanisms that diminish organelle function are described. Cellular phenomena of replicative senescence apoptosis, autophagy and neuroplasticity are detailed as to their contribution to compromised cellular functions. Authored by a leader in the field, Human Biological Aging: From Macromolecules To Organ-Systems is an invaluable introduction for those studying human aging., Comprehension of the theories of aging requires rudimentary knowledge of oxidation and reduction reactions, protein function, cell organelles, mitosis, acquired immunity, and evolution, among other basic biological concepts.

- 8***r (7)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseI was searching for this book for a while and was appalled at the cost. I came across this seller and I was happy with the price from the seller. The seller messaged to let me know that this was the global version before it was actually shipped. That, I appreciated so much. My book arrived in perfect condition, looks great. The packaging was secure and the book, brand new. This is of great quality both in the service and the book. I will definitely use this seller again. Excellent!
- l***u (9)- Feedback left by buyer.Past yearVerified purchaseItem came exactly as describe. I really appreciate the time and caution the seller took to package this book. There was no way it could've received any water damage delivery because it was so well wrapped. The book came sooner than the expected date. At one point I even received a later date and that made me concerned because I thought it wouldn't come in time. But it did, very early as well. I recommend this seller 100% and would purchase from seller in the future if needed. Thank you so much!!The Science Of Psychology: An Appreciative View 6th Global Edition (#186630729832)
