This book presents a multidisciplinary assessment of the state of
science in the use of systemic delivery technologies to deliver
anti-aging therapeutics now under development. There is a gap
between basic aging research and the development of intervention
technologies. This major obstacle must be overcome before
biogerontological interventions can be put into clinical practice.
As biogerontology comes to understand aging as a systemic
degenerative process, it is clear that there is a pressing need for
technologies that enable cells and tissues in a fully developed
adult body to be manipulated systemically to combat aging. The
authors review advances in the chemistry and engineering of
systemic delivery methods and analyze the strengths and limitations
of each. The book is organized into six sections. The first offers
an overview of the need for systemic delivery technologies
alongside the development of anti-aging therapies and describes
approaches that will be required for studying the properties and
efficiency of carriers for systemic delivery. Sections II, III and
IV describe recent advances in a range of strategies that may
enable systemic delivery to help combat aging conditions ranging
from cell senescence to decline in immune function and hormonal
secretion. Section V discusses practical strategies to engineer and
optimize the performance of delivery technologies for applications
in systemic delivery, along with their working principles. The
final section discusses technical and biological barriers that must
be overcome as systemic delivery technologies move from research
laboratory to clinical applications aimed at tackling aging and
age-associated diseases.Benefiting scholars, students and a broader
audience of interested readers, the book includes helpful glossary
sections in each chapter, as well as sidebars that highlight
important notes, and questions for future research.
