Based on Nobel Prize-winning genetic research-a simple plan to keep your telomeres healthy for better health and longevity

Telomeres play an important role in protecting our chromosomes from critical damage. The shortening of the telomere disrupts vital cellular function and promotes the previously seemingly inevitable onset of aging and various diseases, including cancer and Alzheimer's. Drawing from the groundbreaking discoveries about telomeres that won the 2009 Nobel Prize in Medicine, this book includes a highly prescriptive program that shows you how to live longer by slowing telomere shortening and rejuvenating your cells through relatively simple alterations in nutrition habits and other lifestyle changes. Written by authors with extensive knowledge of genetics, telomeres, and longevity Offers a simple action plan you can start using immediately Includes a revolutionary new eating plan Recommends individualized supplement programs Shares a diet and exercise approach grounded in solid scientific research

The exciting recent discoveries about telomeres promise to revolutionize our approach to anti-aging much as antioxidants did ten years ago. Unlike trendy diet and fitness books with no basis in science, "The Immortality Edge" targets health at its innermost level by laying out a realistic, lifelong plan using easy steps that can fit into any busy schedule-steps that can improve the length and quality of your life.

Aging: How Aging Works, How We Reverse Aging, and Prospects for Curing Aging Diseases explains the simplified “wear-and-tear” of aging beyond entropy, to expose it as the complicated process that it is. With this new understanding of the aging process, intervention becomes both easy to understand and implement. With a solid academic approach, the proposed book builds upon the substantial work published over the past 16 years, citing the newest data, up-to-date models based upon that data, and the implications for improved clinical care, including recent developments in gene and cell therapy. Coverage includes age-related diseases including neurodegenerative, cardiovascular, bone and joints, immune system, and skin. Future directions of the field are discussed among interventions  where a summary of previous attempts to intervene in aging and age-related disease is discussed including the status of current research and proposed interventions in the biotech industry, as well as the obstacles and potential benefits. This is the perfect reference for scientists and researchers interested in the basic translational research opportunities such as drug discovery, pharmacogenetics, and experimental therapeutics; as well as clinicians interested in how the AI applications are integrated with applications with focus on digital pathology and personalized medicine.

Science is on the cusp of a revolutionary breakthrough. We now understand more about ageing - and how to prevent and reverse it - than ever before. In The Telomerase Revolution, Dr Michael Fossel, who has been at the cutting edge of ageing research for decades, describes how telomerase will soon be used as a powerful therapeutic tool, with the potential to intervene in age-related disease, dramatically extend life spans and even reverse human ageing. Telomerase-based treatments are already on offer, and have shown early promise, but much more potent treatments will become available over the next decade. This is the definitive work on the latest science of human ageing, covering both the theory and the clinical implications, taking readers to the forefront of one of the most remarkable advances in human medicine.
