Description for Aging of Organisms
Hardback. Deals with aging at the organismic level. This work includes different levels of organisation, ranging from single cell organisms (yeast) to humans. In addition to the important model systems like yeast, filamentous fungi, Caenorabditis elegans, flies and mice, it also discusses other systems like sponges and plants. Editor(s): Osiewacz, Heinz D. Series: Biology of Aging and its Modulation. Num Pages: 276 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PSC. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 17. Weight in Grams: 582.
Biological aging as the time-depending general decline of biological systems associated with a progressively increasing mortality risk is a general phenomenom of great significance. The underlying processes are very complex and depending on genetic and environment factors. These factors encode or affect a network of interconnected cellular pathways. In no system this network has been deciphered in greater detail. However, the strategy of studying various biological systems has let to the identification of pathways and specific modules and makes it obvious that aging is the result of different overlapping mechanisms and pathways. Some of these appear to be conserved ("public") ... Read more
