This book presents a collection of articles on various aspects of current research on aging. These include model systems cellular biochemical and molecular aspects of experimental aging research as well as selected intervention studies on agerelated diseases./Aging is a global challenge to human society. Children are always in a hurry to become adults while adults produce offspring and add to the gene pool. However after adulthood or the attainment of reproductive maturity all physiological parameters of the living organism start to undergo the aging process. Old age sets in slowly but surely and usually continues for a prolonged period. If vigor and vitality are the main advantages of adulthood old age offers the rewards of experience and maturity.br/Biologists ask questions such as: Why do we age? How do we become old? Is it possible to slow down postpone or even prevent aging? In turn medical experts ask: What are the diseases associated with old age? Are there medicines that can help affected elderly patients? In fact both groups are asking themselves how can we add more health to old age.br/Healthy aging is the dream of every individual. But to achieve this it is fundamental that we first understand the cellular biochemical and molecular basis of the aging process in mammalian cells tissues and intact living organisms which can serve as experimental model systems in Biomedical Gerontology. Once the biology of aging is understood at the genetic and molecular levels interventional approaches to aging and its associated diseases may be easier to plan and implement at the preclinical level.div1.
