      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.

      Ureases: Foundations, Classes, and Applications provides a thorough, practical analysis of ureases—enzymes of growing relevance across a range of biotechnological applications and drug discovery. Unique in many aspects, ureases are one of the few enzymes to have nickel in their active sites. This book covers all aspects of this enzymatic class starting with foundational overview and then providing historical urease research and current state, from basic biochemistry to the use of ureases as hallmarks in enzymology, crystallography, and bioinorganic chemistry. The different classes of ureases, structurally diverse but chemically equivalent, are individually discussed.The multi-protein, multi-step activation of ureases (with chemical modification of residues, transport, and transfer of nickel ions) are examined in-depth, along with the catalytic mechanisms of ureolysis and its inhibitors. The final two sections of the book address multiple applications of ureases in health and biotechnology, respectively, going from gastric ulcer treatment to architectural uses in buildings and engineering. Future applications and next steps in research are also considered.
