This book provides an up-to-date overview of key areas of ageing research with a special focus on anti-ageing intervention strategies, which are currently very much at the forefront of ageing studies.
The volume discusses how dietary restriction, supplements or exercise affect the ageing process. Other intervention strategies reviewed are: chaperone activators, telomerase activation, hormetics, senolytics, NAD boosting, geroprotectors, stem cell therapies, resveratrol and melatonin, to just name a few.
This book follows on from Parts I-IV of
Biochemistry and Cell Biology of Ageing within the Subcellular Biochemistry book series and highlights anti-ageing intervention strategies that were not included in the earlier volumes. Comprehensive and cutting-edge, this book is a valuable resource for experienced researchers and early career scientists alike, who are interested in learning more about the fascinating and challenging question of why and how our cells age.

J. Robin Harris is an Honorary Professor of the University of Mainz, who specialized in macromolecular electron microscopy. He has been the Series Editor of the Subcellular Biochemistry Book Series for many years and his broad scientific interests are reflected in the diversity of content of the Series.
Viktor I. Korolchuk is a Professor of Cell Biology at Newcastle University, UK. His scientific interests lie in the area of intracellular protein trafficking and degradation pathways and their relevance to human health and ageing. The current focus of research in his laboratory is the key pro-longevity pathway called autophagy (literally self-eating) which is essential for cellular quality control and homeostasis.
