Aging, Cancer and Age-Related Disease: Common Mechanisms?

This volume recognizes the rapidly expanding research linking aging, age-related diseases, and the delicate balance between neurodegeneration and cancer. Wide perspectives on aging are covered, ranging from metabolic and cellular interventions in aging, oxidative stress resistance, protein folding and quality control, as well as the troublesome relationship between prevention of chaperonopathies and the risk for cancer. It explores current research linking aging, age-related diseases, neurodegeneration, and cancer. It includes papers presented at 13th Congress of the Association of Biomedical Gerontology. Part of the Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences series, this book is ideal for Graduate students and researchers in the fields of biomedical gerontology, cell and molecular biology, neuroscience, and oncology.
