Why do humans age? Why do we live as long as we do? And why is being old in itself the greatest risk factor for the diseases of old age?In Explaining Human Aging, physician and medical educator David O. Staats, M.D., offers a bold, thought-provoking exploration of one of humanity’s oldest and most enduring questions. Drawing on decades of clinical experience, scientific research, and insights from biogerontology, Dr. Staats presents a clear and accessible framework for understanding how human aging works at the level of the whole person-not just the cell. At the heart of the book is a compelling new model of the human life cycle, a dynamic first phase of growth and development, followed by a long, gradual phase of aging shaped by imperfect tissue maintenance, connective tissue changes, and the body’s declining ability to repair itself over time. Blending medicine, biology, anatomy, and real-world clinical observations, Explaining Human Aging examines the mechanism behind tissue atrophy, inflammation, and the changes of our appearance as we age. Complex scientific concepts are presented with clarity, making this book engaging for curious readers, healthcare professionals, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the human lifespan and the aging process.Insightful and deeply human, Explaining Human Aging challenges conventional thinking and offers a fresh perspective on what it truly means to grow old.

  • Viral Replication Complexes
    Viruses are obligate intracellular parasites that need to co-opt a living cell’s machinery for replication. At the heart of the viral replication machinery are the nucleic acid polymerases, which are responsible for efficiently copying the viral genome. This process must often be coordinated with other viral processes, including protein translation and viral packaging. The poly...
  • Advances in Flavivirus Research
    The flaviviruses are composed almost entirely of arthropod-borne viruses, a subset of which are responsible for millions of cases of human disease each year. Among these viruses are dengue virus—a scourge throughout the tropical regions of Asia and the Americas; yellow fever virus—the “original” hemorrhagic fever virus; and the recently emerged Zika virus. While the flaviviruse...

  • Brain Asymmetry of Structure and/or Function
    Lesley J. Rogers / Lesley JRogers
    This edited book brings together research reports on the asymmetry of brain function in various species, including humans, dogs, birds, lizards and bees. As shown in a wide range of species, and, as we now know, not solely in humans, the left and right sides of the brain process information in different ways and control different responses or patterns of behaviour. Since this d...

  • The Epithelialto- Mesenchymal Transition ( EMT ) in Cancer
    Joëlle Roche
    The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a highly dynamic process with multiple transitional states, by which epithelial cells can convert into a mesenchymal phenotype. This process involves loss of cellular adhesion and cellular polarity, and an improvement in migratory and invasive properties. It occurs during normal embryonic development, tissue regeneration, organ ...

  • The Biology and Treatment of Myeloid Leukaemias
    There has been an observed decrease in the global mortality from cancer, mostly atributable to improved, particularly early, detection and prevention. For many carcinomas and leukaemias in adults, once the disease has reached a certain stage there are no therapies that are able to erradicate the cancer cells and cure patients. There has been progress in the treatment of acute m...
