Click here for reviews We are entering a new era of medicine: gene therapies, nanomedicine, precision targeting of designer drugs to specific cells in the body, personalized medicine and systems biology, enhancements to the immune system, regenerative medicine, and much more equally revolutionary research that remains unfamiliar to the public. How will this new knowledge and these exciting technologies be turned to use in the defeat of the dysfunction and diseases associated with getting older? How can new and developing therapies be used to truly 'defeat aging'?
In Ending Aging, noted biomedical gerontologist Aubrey de Grey and his research assistant Michael Rae take us on an engaging journey, detailing the path to a future in which we do not have to become frail and decrepit as we grow old and wise - and showing how we can help make this goal a reality within our lifetimes. An Italian translation of the first chapter of Ending Aging ("The Eureka Moment") is now available.
