      Aging: How Aging Works, How We Reverse Aging, and Prospects for Curing Aging Diseases explains the process of aging beyond mere entropy, exposing it as a complicated and dynamic process that undercuts maintenance and permits age-related disease. With a deeper understanding of the aging process, intervention becomes both easy to understand and clinically feasible.With a solid academic approach, this proposed book builds upon the substantial work published over the past 20 years, citing the newest data, up-to-date models based upon that data, and the implications for improved clinical intervention, including recent developments in gene and cell therapy. Coverage of age-related diseases includes neurodegenerative, cardiovascular, bone and joint, immune system, renal, pulmonary, and skin aging. Future directions of the field focus on interventions, including a summary of previous attempts to intervene in aging and age-related disease, the status of current research, and proposed biotech interventions, as well as their potential obstacles, risks, and benefits. This is the perfect reference for scientists, clinicians, and researchers interested in the translational research opportunities such as drug discovery, pharmacogenetics, and experimental therapeutics, not only summarizing where the field stands, but giving a clear and cogent view of where clinical medicine is going in the next decade.

      Sustainable Agricultural Practices, a volume in the Plant and Soil Microbiome series, presents foundational information into the successful utilization of different biocontrol agents (especially bacteria and fungi actinomycetes) under field conditions which can help relieve the pressure of overexploitation of synthetic pesticides in agriculture.The need for sustainable advancement in agriculture practices continues to increase. Traditionally, achieving optimum yields of crops has meant farmers continuously using large amounts of chemical fertilizers or pesticides, but the indiscriminate use of these pesticides has adversely affected the environment, nontarget microorganisms, soil textures, and human health. As many microorganisms, including nitrogen-fixing bacteria and cyanobacteria, can be used as bioinoculants, they offer opportunities not only to enhance the crop productivity but also to maintain the natural properties of agricultural soils.Sustainable Agricultural Practices explores the multifaceted benefits derived from varieties of microorganisms existing in different components of the ecosystem, many of which could potentially be employed as probiotics for improved human and livestock health.Researchers seeking to expand their understanding of related fields and students seeking foundational concept coverage will find this volume valuable.
