The three of us, working in different institutions but in the same city, were very aware of the differences between our diverse approaches to the biology of aging and our perceptions of the sub­ ject matter. However, three years ago we began to hold informal meetings to discuss our research. These meetings eventually be­ came more frequent and, with this association, we became increas­ ingly cognizant of the commonality of our research problems de­ spite our separate perspectives. The idea for this symposium, therefore, grew from our aware­ ness that the underlying problem of the biological basis for aging was a common denominator in our research. The papers presented here represent three areas of active investigation: cell divi­ sion, biological membranes and hormonal regulation. They are sub­ mitted with the expectations that a greater understanding of the role of each of these separate approaches will help clarify, not only the interrelationships between our fields of research, but more importantly, the biology of aging itself.

  • Gerontological Imagination
    Kenneth F Ferraro
    The scientific study of aging is a relatively nascent field of inquiry. Although philosophic and literary reflections on what it means to grow older appear in the earliest historical records, the systematic study of aging began in earnest about a century ago. Scholarly interest in the topic has accelerated in recent decades, due in part to rapid population aging in developed na...

  • Living with Frailty
    Shibley Rahman
    Increasingly, we question ’what makes us healthy?’, as well as ’what makes us ill?’. What does this shift mean for frailty? Almost wholly defined in negative terms, the term ’frail’ tends to refer to a group of older people who are at highest risk of adverse outcomes such as falls, infections, disability, admission to hospital or the need for long-term care. This ground-breakin...
