Telomeres: Biomarkers of a Healthy Life and Successful Aging

Editat de Aristidis Tsatsakis, Paraskevi Kallinteri, Elisavet Renieri
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 5 feb 2025
This book provides a comprehensive overview of aging and its mechanisms through the prism of telomere length and its link to lifestyle parameters and environmental pollutants, diseases where telomere length attrition is prominent, and therapeutic approaches to slow down or prevent the process of telomere length reduction. It also provides an extensive comparison of the methodology for telomere length determination and characterization. The book will help researchers in any discipline to obtain an in-depth and broad knowledge of the most recent advances in telomere research written by specialists in the field. It is also addressed to the readers interested in gaining an insight into the processes of aging and those factors that affect “graceful” aging, enabling them to extract even useful tips in improving their everyday habits.

Recenzii

This book unsparingly lays out the challenges of worldwide aging and its growing and possibly insurmountable health and economic challenges. A powerful boost to the credibility of the book is its rigorous examination of the validity of the methods of telomere impact assessment, which facilitates understanding of what has been determined of the impact of our lifestyles on our telomere processes and also the effects of some major disease states.

Prof. Tsatsakis’ book masterfully demystifies the role of telomeres in dictating the pace of our biological clock through a narrative that is not only scientifically rich but also deeply personal. Each chapter unfolds the intricate dance of telomere replication, a process pivotal to our understanding of aging and the potential onset of senescence.

Modern progressive scientific advancements have impacted all aspects of human life, even the most sacred such as birth and death.  The discovery of telomeres has provided humanity with unprecedented opportunities to both predict and to control the life expectancy. The book systematizes and details all current knowledge on the aging mechanisms and solutions for their deceleration. These issues concern everyone. Therefore, this edition can be recommended to the widest range of readers.
