Human Biological Aging
From Macromolecules to Organ Systems
Language: English
Release Date: January 29, 2016
Comprehension of the theories of aging requires rudimentary knowledge of oxidation and reduction reactions, protein function, cell organelles, mitosis, acquired immunity, and evolution, among other basic biological concepts. Without these fundamentals, students of biological aging struggle to learn...

"A clock," writes Arthur T. Winfree, "is not much good if you can't pull out its stem and set it."
Similarly, the most critical property of biological clocks--which rhythmically organize the processes of life--is their ability to reset on cue.
This ability allows...
