%2020070606155627822.jpg) The 2007 annual AGE
meeting and the Pre-meeting
Symposium
were held June 1-4
in San Antonio,
Texas.
%2020070606155706126.jpg) The Pre-meeting
Symposium focused on potential
interventions for
modulating aging and
was a true success
with the
participants. The
regular meeting was
also very well
attended, attracting
over 300 attendees
from all over the
world.
%2020070606155742365.jpg) The
three days of the
annual meeting
offered great
scientific sessions, a lively
discussion inspired
by the debate "Is
Aging Programmed" led by
Steve Austad,
Daniel Promislow and
Valter Longo, a
successful poster
session that
showcased more than
100 abstracts, an
ample platform for
learning about new
discoveries in
current areas of
aging research as
well as multiple
networking
opportunities.
Our many thanks go
to all lecturers,
panelists,
registrants,
volunteers who have
joined this annual
event and to those
who have generously
supported and
sponsored this
meeting.
Looking forward to
another successful
meeting in 2008!

Prevention and Treatment of Age-related
Diseases
Rattan, Suresh I.S.; Kassem,
Moustapha (Eds.)
2006, VII, 364 p., Hardcover
Biogerontologists are now in a position
to construct general principles of
aging, and genuine attempts are being
made to test and develop effective means
of intervention, prevention and
treatment of age-related diseases, and
for achieving healthy old age. This book
takes status of the molecular, cellular,
hormonal, nutritional and lifestyle
strategies being tested and applied. It
comprises inter-dependent chapters
written in the form of critical reviews
by the world’s leading researchers and
practitioners in their respective
fields. The format of the articles is a
semi-academic style in which research
data from various experimental systems
is presented while focusing on their
applications in human beings with
respect to the prevention and treatment
of age-related impairments. The target
readership is the undergraduate and
graduate students in the universities,
medical and nursing colleges,
post-graduate students taking up
research projects on different aspects
of biogerontology, and practicing
clinicians. This book could be an
important volume for college, university
and state libraries maintaining a good
database in biology, medical and
biomedical sciences. Furthermore, this
book will also be of much interest to
the pharmaceutical, and nutrition and
healthcare industry for an easy access
to accurate and reliable information in
the field of aging research and
intervention.
Aging at the Molecular Level
2004, X,
248 p., Hardcover
During the last 40 years, the study of the
biological basis of aging has progressed
tremendously, and it has now become an
independent and respectable field of study
and research. The essential cause of aging
is molecular damage that slowly overwhelms
cellular and organismic defense, repair and
maintenance systems. In recent years, a
wealth of highly sophisticated research has
transformed this idea from a credible
hypothesis not only to a major theory, but
essentially to accepted knowledge. Aging at
the Molecular Level examines the key
elements in this transformation. Bringing
together contributions from an international
team of authors, this volume will be of
interest to graduates and postgraduates in
the fields of medicine and nursing,
researchers of different aspects of
biogerontology and those in the
pharmaceutical, cosmeceutical, nutraceutical
and health-care industry.
Aging of Cells In and Outside the Body
Kaul, S.; Wadwha, Renu (Eds.)
This book provides updated knowledge on the
basic features and mechanisms of cellular
aging established since its first
manifestation at cellular level 40 years
ago. Contributions of genetic and
environmental factors, failure of genetic
and cellular repair mechanisms, and the
epigenetic modifications determine the final
lifespan of cells. This book also provides
an understanding on how aging mechanisms in
mice, a most frequently used model, differ
with that of humans who receive better tumor
surveillance because of stringent controls
on aging mechanisms. It also appraises the
use of modern technology for aging studies
and its intervention. This book serves as an
excellent reading on cellular aging for
undergraduate students, researchers and
experts of this area.
Aging of the Organs and Systems
2004, X,
318 p., Hardcover
During
the last 40 years, the study of the
biological basis of aging has progressed
tremendously, and it has now become an
independent and respectable field of
study and research. This
volume on "Aging of Organs and Systems",
is an attempt to bring understanding to
both the aging process and the disease
processes of old age. Bringing together
contributions from an international team
of authors, it will be of interest to
graduates and postgraduates in the
fields of medicine and nursing,
researchers of different aspects of
biogerontology and those in the
pharmaceutical, cosmeceutical,
nutriceutical and health-care industry.
Modulating Aging and Longevity
After decades of systematic collection of
data describing age-related changes in
organisms, organs, tissues, cells and
macromolecules, biogerontologists are now in
a position to construct general principles
of ageing and explore various possibilities
of intervention using rational approaches.
While not giving serious consideration to
the claims made by charlatans, it cannot be
ignored that several researchers are making
genuine attempts to test and develop various
means of intervention for the prevention and
treatment of age-related diseases, for
regaining the functional abilities and for
prolonging the lifespan of experimental
organisms. This book provides the most
up-to-date information and a critical
evaluation of a variety of approaches being
tried for modulating aging and longevity,
including dietary supplementation with
antioxidants, vitamins and hormones, genetic
engineering, life-style alterations, and
hormesis through mild stress. The goal of
research on ageing is not to increase human
longevity regardless of the consequences,
but to increase active longevity free from
disability and functional dependence.
The Role of Aging in Atherosclerosis - The
Sequestration Hypothesis
Tracy, R.E.
This book is the first in many decades
to address aging as a risk factor, and
claims a broad range of success, giving
previously unsuspected explanations.
Most of the material here is outside of
the usual range pursued in this active
field during recent decades, and serves
to open new avenues of inquiry into
neglected topics. The mathematical
treatment of the subject matter is
daunting but rarely goes beyond the
level of high school algebra.
Furthermore, it is not necessary to
master the mathematics in order to gasp
the biological principles. This book
provides observations and insights that
originate with this author, and much of
this is new material not previously
published. The topics addressed are
chiefly the biology of aging,
atherosclerosis, hypertension, and
diabetes, including the microvascular
features of these disorders. Anyone
studying these topics will find the book
compelling.
