The Biology of Ageing: From Hallmarks to Drugs provides a series of reviews covering multiple aspects of the translational pipeline as interventions in the biology of ageing itself become a clinical reality. New chapters cover Cellular senescence and NAD+: what are the links?, Biomarker for ageing: potential and pitfalls, What chemists offer to ageing research, You are what you eat – or are you? Exploring dietary versus topical anti-oxidants in skin ageing, Clinical trials: A simple guide for gerontologists, Towards an ethical framework for geroscience, and more. The book explores links between known ageing mechanisms and new interventions, agents and actions at the nutraceutical-drug divide, the challenges and opportunities provided by biomarkers and chemistry- biology interface and lastly the ethical and operational challenges of clinical trials in the age of translational geroscience.

Epigenetics in Human Disease, Third Edition examines the diseases and conditions on which we have advanced knowledge of epigenetic mechanisms, such as cancer, autoimmune disorders, aging, metabolic disorders, neurobiological disorders and cardiovascular disease. From molecular mechanisms and epigenetic technology to clinical translation of recent research, the nature and applications of the science is presented for those with interests ranging from the fundamental basis of epigenetics to therapeutic interventions for epigenetic-based disorders, with an emphasis throughout on understanding and application of key concepts in new research and clinical practice. Fully revised and up-to-date, this Third Edition discusses topics of current interest in epigenetic disease research, including stem cell epigenetic therapy, bioinformatic analysis of NGS data, epigenetic mechanisms of imprinting disorders, microRNA in cancer, epigenetic approaches to control obesity, epigenetics and airway disease, and epigenetics in cardiovascular disease. Further sections explore online epigenetic tools and datasets; early-life programming of epigenetics in age-related diseases; the epigenetics of addiction and suicide, and epigenetic approaches to regulating and preventing diabetes, cardiac disease, allergic disorders, Alzheimer’s disease, respiratory diseases, and many other human maladies. In addition, each chapter now includes chapter summaries, definitions, and vibrant imagery and figures to reinforce understanding, as well as step-by-step methods and disease research case studies.
