CRITICAL REVIEWS OF OXIDATIVE STRESS AND AGING
Advances in Basic Science, Diagnostics and Intervention
(In 2 Volumes)
edited by Richard G Cutler (Kronos Longevity Research Institute, Arizona, USA) & Henry Rodriguez (National Institute of Standards & Technology, Maryland, USA)
About the Editors
This innovative and comprehensive reference book provides the most up-to-date information pertaining to the translational research field of oxidative stress and aging. The book focuses on understanding the molecular basis of oxidative stress and its associated age-related diseases with the goal being the development of new and novel methods in treating the human aging processes. The book charts the course of this new and rapidly emerging field of Oxidative Stress Diagnostics and Therapeutics that will have a significant impact on the future economics, science and practice of medicine. Over 100 of the leading experts in this field whose specialty includes biogerontology, geriatric medicine, free radical chemistry and biology, oncology, cardiology, neurobiology, dermatology, pharmacology, nutrition, and molecular medicine, have contributed information to this book. This reference book is an essential reading material to a broad range of individuals including researchers, physicians, corporate industry leaders, graduate and medical school students, as well as the many health conscious individuals who wish to know more about the emerging field of oxidative stress and aging with an emphasis on diagnostics and intervention.
