Ageing: Lessons from C. elegans
Anders Olsen (Redaktør) ; Matthew S. Gill (Redaktør)
Serie: Healthy Ageing and Longevity 5
This book brings together in one volume the current state of ageing research in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. The authors
are leading researchers in the field, placing this topic in the context of human ageing, describing how and why basic discoveries in this simple organism have impacted our prospects for intervention
in the ageing process. Les mer

This book brings together in one volume the current state of ageing research in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. The authors
are leading researchers in the field, placing this topic in the context of human ageing, describing how and why basic discoveries
in this simple organism have impacted our prospects for intervention in the ageing process. The authors cover a broad range
of topics with regards to organismal and reproductive ageing including anatomical, physiological and biochemical changes,
as well as genetic and environmental interventions that promote longevity and ameliorate age-related disease. Ageing is the
single most important factor determining the onset of human disease in developed countries. With current worldwide demographic
trends indicating that the number of individuals over the age of 65 will continue to rise, it is clear that an understanding
of the processes that underpin ageing and age-related disease represents a key challenge in the biomedical sciences. In recent
years there have been huge advances in our understanding of the ageing process and many of these have stemmed from genetic
analysis of C. elegans.
With no analogous book in this subject area this work will be of interest to a wide audience, ranging from academic researchers to the general public.
