This volume includes contributions by the leading experts in the field of yeast aging. Budding yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) and other fungal organisms provide models for aging research that are relevant to organismic aging and to the aging processes occurring in the human body. Replicative aging, in which only the mother cell ages while the daughter cell resets the clock to zero is a model for the aging of stem cell populations in humans, while chronological aging (measured by survival in stationary phase) is a model for the aging processes in postmitotic cells (for instance, neurons of the brain). Most mechanisms ... Read more

Reviews for Aging Research in Yeast
From the reviews: “This book compiles some of the most exciting and promising research to date in the fields of anti-aging, longevity, and possibly even rejuvenation. The authors’ research examines the role of senescence in yeast and how it may relate to the chaotic autophagy of cancer cells. In sum, Aging Research will stir interest in both scientific and ...
