Human Aging: From Cellular Mechanisms to Therapeutic Strategies offers an exhaustive picture of all the biological aspects of human aging by describing the key mechanisms associated with human aging and covering events that could disrupt the normal course of aging. Each chapter includes a summary of the salient points covered, along with futures prospects. The book provides readers with the information they need to gain or deepen the skills needed to evaluate the mechanisms of aging and age-related diseases and to monitor the effectiveness of therapies aimed at slowing aging.
The book encourages PhD and Postdoc students, researchers, health professionals and others interested in the biology of aging to explore the fascinating and challenging questions about why and how we age as well as what can and cannot be done about it.
- Concentrates on different processes, e.g., oxidative stress, cellular senescence and Inflammaging
- Offers the ability to access cross-sectional knowledge more easily
- Written by expert researchers in biogerontology who are actively involved in various fields within aging research
Graduate and PhD students as well as researchers interested or working in various aspects of aging. Clinical researchers and medical professionals in biogerontology and geriatrics

"The articles are all in English and mostly written by Italian specialists in medical and social aging work. The chapters cover evolution demographics, pathobiology (age-related diseases), cellular senescence, inflammatory chronic diseases, reactive oxygen species, aging and the im>mune system, vaccination in the aged, hormesis, sarcopenia, hormonal changes in aging, chronobiology, cognitive decline, lifestyle modulation, nutritional biomarkers for aging, cytomegalovirus infection, ethics of aging, and fighting age-related diseases.
Those who teach courses on aging or death and dying may want to supplement these informative chapters with readings on longevity studies among the 92 phyla. The editors asked the participants writing these chapters to provide about five or six pages of references for each topic that will greatly help anyone doing research in these fields."—The Quarterly Review of Biology

Calogero Caruso
Calogero Caruso is Professor Emeritus in the Department of Biomedicine, Neurosciences and Advanced Diagnostics at the University of Palermo. He has authored over 415 papers, mostly on ageing, age-related diseases, and longevity. He was founder and editor in chief of Immunity & Ageing from 2004 to 2018, Coordinator of the PhD program in Molecular Medicine and Biotechnology (formerly Pathobiology) from 1998-2018, and National Coordinator of Italian Ministerial Project on Centenarians and Longevity from 2016-2019. Finally, with Prof. Giuseppina Candore he is responsible for the local unit of the project “Improved Vaccination Strategies for Older Adults (ISOLDA)” funded by the European Commission. The national and international recognition of his scientific achievements in the field of Biogerontology is documented by funded projects, by the number of citations of his papers, by invitations to national and international congresses and meetings, by his activity as a project reviewer and by organization of international conferences.
