Medical Implications of Basic Research in Aging
Medical Implications of Basic Research in Aging Volume 2 provides an updated sampling through 2017 of the most important discoveries of the past several years relevant to aging research in the context of enhancing life- and healthspan. Have you ever wondered if there is anything that you can do to slow aging or prevent diseases associated with aging? Are you interested in enhancing your health based on the latest scientific discoveries? Are you a biohacker experimenting on your own body in an attempt to live longer? Assembled in this volume are a number of the commentaries that previously appeared in the scientific journal Rejuvenation Research. The presentations are clearly written and accessible to those with a general background in biology and medical science. An overview summarizes the articles for the educated layman. Thorough referencing provides an opportunity for further in-depth reading.
The Power of Hormones
A fascinating, in-depth look at the crucial role that hormones play on human health at all ages and stages of our lives—written by one of the world’s foremost experts. “Hormones are the conductors of our body’s orchestra.” —Max Nieuwdorp Our hormones shape us at every stage of our lives, from the second we are conceived to the moment we breathe our last breath. They are essential to our immune system, sleep, digestion, hunger, stress levels, and so much more. When our hormone systems aren’t functioning well, it wreaks havoc on our health and our wellbeing—and yet most of us know very little about the far-reaching power of the human body’s crucial chemical messengers.

Protein Interaction Networks in Health and Disease
The identification and mapping of protein-protein interactions (PPIs) is a major goal in systems biology. Experimental data are currently produced in large scale using a variety of high-throughput assays in yeast or mammalian systems. Analysis of these data using computational tools leads to the construction of large protein interaction networks, which help researchers identify novel protein functions. However, our current view of protein interaction networks is still limited and there is an active field of research trying to further develop this concept to include important processes: the topology of interactions and their changes in real time, the effects of competition for binding to the ...
The Healthspan Solution
Increase your lifespan and optimize your health with plant-based recipes for a longer, more vibrant life. Authors and leading plant-based nutrition experts Julieanna Hever and Ray Cronise have spent over a decade researching diet and nutrition, analyzing longevity studies, and helping their clients achieve sustainable, lasting health benefits by adopting a whole food, plant-based diet. In The Healthspan Solution, they share the simple and effective diet that has allowed their clients to lose weight, reverse disease, reduce or eliminate medication use, and achieve optimal health. This accessible and easy-to-follow guide examines the health risks posed by typical Western eating habits and expl...
Science in the Archives
"Science in the Archives" reveals affinities and continuities among the sciences of the archives, across many disciplines and centuries, in order to present a better picture of essential archival practices and, thereby, the meaning of science. For in both the natural and human sciences, archives of the most diverse forms make cumulative, collective knowledge possible. Yet in contrast to laboratories, observatories, or the field, archives have yet to be studied across the board as central sites of science. The volume covers episodes in the history of astronomy, geology, genetics, classical philology, climatology, history, medicine, and ancient natural philosophy, as well as fundamental practices such as collecting, retrieval strategies, and data mining. The time frame spans doxology in Greco-Roman antiquity to NSA surveillance techniques and the quantified-self movement. Each chapter explores the practices, politics, economics, and open-ended potential of the sciences of the archives, making this the first book devoted to the role of archives in the natural and human sciences.
Referendum Democracy
As the referendum becomes a more regular component of decision making, it leaves few, if any, institutions, processes and values of democracy untouched. Political actors of all kinds - including political parties and interest groups - seek to use the referendum device to further their own objectives. The end result is a different kind of democracy than existed before. This book lays out the comparative research agenda on the impact of referendums on the practice of liberal democracy.
Civic Medicine
Communities great and small across Europe for eight centuries have contracted with doctors. Physicians provided citizen care, helped govern, and often led in public life. Civic Medicine stakes out this timely subject by focusing on its golden age, when cities rivaled territorial states in local and global Europe and when civic doctors were central to the rise of shared, organized written information about the human and natural world. This opens the prospect of a long history of knowledge and action shaped more by community and responsibility than market or state, exchange or power.
