Biochemistry and Cell Biology of Ageing: Part VI

Bringing together cutting-edge insights from leading international experts, Biochemistry and Cell Biology of Ageing volume offers a comprehensive and timely exploration of one of the most dynamic fields in modern biomedical science. Spanning 17 expertly curated chapters, the book captures the breadth and depth of ageing research—from fundamental molecular mechanisms to emerging clinical applications. Covering topics such as biomarkers of ageing, red blood cell senescence, lysosomal function, protein aggregation and autophagy, inflammageing, and mitochondrial energetics, the volume highlights the intricate biological processes that underpin ageing and age-related disease. Contributions also explore key areas including proteomics in dementia, skeletal muscle frailty, cancer, retinal ageing, cerebral blood flow, viral impacts on the ageing brain, and the role of lipids and vitamin K in longevity and healthspan. A defining feature of this volume is its integration of basic and clinical science. Many chapters bridge the gap between bench and bedside, demonstrating how advances in cellular and biochemical research translate into meaningful therapeutic insights and interventions. Designed for researchers, advanced students, and academic professionals in biomedical and medical sciences, this book serves as both an authoritative reference and an inspiring resource. Together with the recently published companion volumes in the series, it provides a cohesive and indispensable overview of the rapidly evolving landscape of ageing research. At the forefront of discovery, this volume is essential reading for both established investigators and early-career scientists seeking to understand—and shape—the future of ageing biology.
