In recent years, volumes of the long-established Springer Subcellular Biochemistry series have shown great diversity of content, thus interesting biochemical topics, enthusiastically edited in all cases, have been readily accommodated. This new volume of the Subcellular Biochemistry series, Biochemistry and Cell Biology of Ageing: Part II, offers a broad overview of many different Clinical Science aspects of Ageing. The 17 chapters included in the book, contributed by knowledgeable authors, review many important topics at an advanced level. Whilst it has proved impossible to include all relevant topics, there is much present that will be of value to the reader. The book contains chapters on: "Poor Early Growth and Age-associated Disease
The Immune System and its Dysregulation with Ageing
Pulmonary Diseases and Ageing
Neurodegenerative Diseases and Ageing
Ageing and Cognition
Ageing and Osteoarthritis
Down Syndrome, Ageing and Epigenetics
The Vestibular System and Ageing
Signal Transduction, Ageing and Disease
Skin Changes During Ageing
Connective Tissue and Age-related Diseases
Potential Cellular and Biochemical Mechanisms of Exercise and Physical Activity on the Ageing Process
Health Benefits of Anti-ageing Drugs
Visual Defects and Ageing
Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome: Challenges at Bench and Bedside
Osteoporosis and the Ageing Skeleton
Neurovascular Ageing and Age-related Diseases" The book is primarily directed to advanced biomedical science and medical students, postgraduates, researchers, clinicians and academics in the field of Ageing. An earlier companion volume of the Subcellular Biochemistry series - Biochemistry and Cell Biology of Ageing: Part I (Volume 90) - covering the Biomedical Science aspects of ageing, has also been recently published.
