Description

Theoretical and Clinical Geropharmacology​, explores the emerging field of senotherapeutics, which focuses on targeting cellular senescence to reduce age-related diseases and promote healthy aging. Chapters in this new release include Senotherapeutics: Milestones, innovations, and future prospects, Game Changer: Navigating between challenges and hopes in Geropharmacology, Next-Gen Senotherapeutics: AI/ML-driven strategies for aging and age-related disorders, Pharmacological frontiers in senescence: Transforming senescence with drug repurposing, Pharmacological potential of calorie restriction mimetics in mitigating brain aging, Isothiocyanates from cruciferous plants as geroprotectors, and much more.

Other chapters cover Cellular parabiosis as a senotherapeutic approach, Molecular imaging for senescent cells-targeted therapeutics in aging and age-related diseases, Mitochondria-associated membranes (MAMs) in age-related heart diseases, role of endoplasmic reticulum stress, Cellular senescence and senotherapeutics in cardiovascular diseases, Risk of senescence, polypharmacy, and their outcomes in elderly cardiovascular disease patients, Geropharmacology and gastrointestinal surgery, Oxygen-ozone adjunct therapy in aging and senescence-related disorders, and more.

Key features

  • Helps readers understand the nature of senotherapeutic agents and related cellular signaling cascades in health lifespan maintenance and age-associated pathologies
  • Includes discussions on how to pioneer new candidate senotherapeutic drugs that can be developed based on current scientific knowledge
  • Reveals how repurposed conventional drugs can be used in elderly patients
  • Proposes new drug-based therapeutic strategies suitable for this advanced age group

Readership

Clinicians, academicians, students, and researchers in gerontology, geriatrics, surgery, oncology, biochemistry, pharmacology, and pathology

UC

Ufuk Cakatay

Ufuk Çakatay (May 09, 1965 –) is a Turkish biochemist and biogerontologist. He is a full professor of medical biochemistry at Istanbul-University Cerrahpaşa in Istanbul, Turkey. He has a long-standing interest in oxidative protein damage, redox signaling, and biomarkers of proteostasis. Much less is known about the relationship between redox signaling events and senescent cells. However, it has been shown that the number of senescent cells in many tissues increases with age and that senescent cells are found in various age-related diseases. The development of experimental animal models for age-related disorders and the optimization of various bioanalytical techniques for the assessment of redox status in aging tissue are among his major research interests. Professor Çakatay has authored more than 100 publications in several leading journals, including research papers, book chapters, editorials, and invited reviews on free radical biology, aging, diabetes, redox signaling, and senotherapeutics. He has been a guest editor, reviewer, and editorial board member for more than 50 journals. In addition, Professor Çakatay has a keen interest in mentoring medical students and promoting their research careers. He has received several prestigious awards, including the Top Reviewer Award from Elsevier Science Publishing, and was a former member of the Animal Research and Ethics Committee of Istanbul University.
