This book looks at aging through research on Drosophila, the fruit
fly that is one of the most widely used model organisms in bio
gerontology. Work in model organisms can expand the theoretical
knowledge of aging: it yields valuable insight into the molecular
and cellular processes that underlie aging process, and it can
perhaps provide new therapeutic targets for the treatment of
age-related disorders in humans.Drosophila models have been
developed for a large variety of aging-related processes and
diseases, and this book provides readers with an overview of
current research on the use of the Drosophila model to understand
the genetic, molecular and physiological mechanisms that underlie
the aging process. Themes of health span, life extension and
longevity-associated genes emerge in this collation of
international research on Drosophila that is of relevance to
geriatrics and gerontology, animal genetics and genomics, and
biomedicine. This fascinating, illustrated book will be of interest
to a wide audience, ranging from academic researchers to the
general reader.
