Although thousands of articles and hundreds of books on aging have
been published, only a small percentage of this material has dealt
with anatomy, particularly at the fine structural level. It was
with this in mind that Aging and Cell Structure was conceived.
Volume 1 of Aging and Cell Structure was published in 1981 and
represented a current compilation of information, concentrating at
the electron microscopic level, on morphological changes which
occur in cells and tissues as they age. The present volume
completes the two-volume set. While Volume 1 highlighted structural
changes occurring in the aging nervous system, Volume 2 centers its
efforts on studies of in vitro aging. Chapters on other subjects
are included as well. These include age-related changes seen in
neuromuscular junctions, oral tissues, and the pancreas. Although
these two volumes represent a very small part of the published
infor mation on experimental gerontology, their approach is rather
unique because they focus on anatomy, perhaps the most basic of all
the biomedical sciences. Because many dif ferent tissue types are
examined, we begin to see recurrent, definitive patterns in the
aging cell which may not be fully apparent from studies taking one
cell type at a time. This becomes even more evident in the present
volume where changes seen in popula tions of cells grown in
culture-isolated from hormones or nervous impulses from other body
areas-are found to be similar to those changes found in vivo."
