Mitochondrial Communication in Physiology, Disease and Aging
This eBook is a collection of articles from a Frontiers Research Topic. Frontiers Research Topics are very popular trademarks of the Frontiers Journals Series: they are collections of at least ten articles, all centered on a particular subject. With their unique mix of varied contributions from Original Research to Review Articles, Frontiers Research Topics unify the most influential researchers, the latest key findings and historical advances in a hot research area! Find out more on how to host your own Frontiers Research Topic or contribute to one as an author by contacting the Frontiers Editorial Office: frontiersin.org/about/contact.
Coherent X-ray diffractive imaging on the single-cell-level of microbial samples
Since its first experimental demonstration in 1999, Coherent X-Ray Diffractive Imaging has become one of the most promising high resolution X-Ray imaging techniques using coherent radiation produced by brilliant synchrotron storage rings. The ability to directly invert diffraction data with the help of advanced algorithms has paved the way for microscopic investigations and wave-field analyses on the spatial scale of nanometres without the need for inefficient imaging lenses. X-Ray phase contrast which is a measure of the electron density is an important contrast mode of soft biological specimens. For the case of many dominant elements of soft biological matter, the electron density can be c...
Extremophiles
Highly recommended by CHOICE, Oct 2018 Extremophiles are nature’s ultimate survivors, thriving in environments ranging from the frozen Antarctic to abyssal hot hydrothermal vents. Their lifeforms span bacteria to fishes, and are categorized as halophiles from hypersaline environments, acidophiles from acidic waters, psychrophiles from cold habitats, and thermophiles from warm waters. Extremophiles: From Biology to Biotechnology comprehensively covers the basic biology, physiology, habitats, secondary metabolites for bioprospecting, and biotechnology of these extreme survivors. The chapters focus on the novel genetic and biochemical traits that lend these organisms to biotechnological appli...
Advances in Food and Nutrition Research
Advances in Food and Nutrition Research, Volume 93, provides information on nutrients in foods and how to avoid their deficiency, especially for those essential nutrients that should be present in the diet. Specific topics covered in this new release include drying, a relevant unit operation in the manufacture of foods and nutritional products, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in edible oils and fatty foods, including occurrence, formation, analysis, change, and control, food allergens and their characterization, molecular properties and clinical implications, the design, quality, safety and efficacy of extensively hydrolyzed formula for the management of cow’s milk protein allergy, and mu...
Handbook of the Biology of Aging
Handbook of the Biology of Aging, Ninth Edition, provides a comprehensive synthesis and review of the latest and most important advances and themes in modern biogerontology. The book focuses on the trend of ‘big data’ approaches in the biological sciences, presenting new strategies to analyze, interpret and understand the enormous amounts of information being generated through DNA sequencing, transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolomics methodologies applied to aging related problems. Sections cover longevity pathways and interventions that modulate aging, innovative tools that facilitate systems-level approaches to aging research, the mTOR pathway and its importance in age-related phenotypes, and much more. Assists researchers in keeping abreast of research and clinical findings outside their subdiscipline Helps medical, behavioral and social gerontologists understand what basic scientists and clinicians are discovering Includes new chapters on genetics, evolutionary biology, bone aging, and epigenetic control Examines the diverse research being conducted in the study of the biology of aging
Hacking Immortality
Cheat death—or at least delay it—with this accessible look into the quest for immortality, and what it means for human civilization. Are humans close to living forever? With advances in medicine and new therapies that prolong life expectancy, we are on track to make aging even more manageable. This new entry in the exciting Alice in Futureland series explores both the science and cultural impulse behind extending lifespans, and the numerous ways the quest for eternity forces us to reevaluate what it means to be human. Some experts believe that we haven’t fully realized our true human potential, and we are about to embark on an extraordinary evolutionary shift. Hacking Immortality answers all your burning questions, including: -Can humans cheat death? -What is your grim age? -Will 100 be the new 40? -Will we become software? As reality suddenly catches up to science fiction, Hacking Immortality gives the truth on the state of humanity—and all its possible futures.
Nutrigenómica y Nutrigenética
Al tratarse de una ciencia relativamente reciente, existen pocas publicaciones que puedan ser usadas como referencia tanto en la práctica profesional como en la docencia y la investigación de la nutrigenómica. Apoyándose en sólidas bases científicas pero con un enfoque práctico y ameno a la vez, este libro se convierte así en una obra puntera de referencia. Después de una década de avances en la investigación de la nutrigenómica, ha llegado el momento de sentar las bases y dar a conocer los frutos de esta disciplina y sus aplicaciones en la prevención y tratamiento de la enfermedad, contra el envejecimiento, la obesidad o en el ámbito del deporte. El libro se dirige principalme...
Behind The Scenes
Little girls dream ... Libby Marlowe did. And a fairy godmother sprinkled her with gold dust and it all came true. She got her castle and her handsome prince, and as this was a modern-day fairy tale they even threw in a glamorous career as a celebrity chef. As one half of the couple everyone wanted to be like, it was all going in the direction of Happy Ever After until late one night when the dream began to unravel. Years earlier, someone trod less than softly on Annie Weller's dreams and she's still feeling the squash. As a teenager she lost her mother, in her twenties a serious illness almost ended her acting career and now, approaching thirty, insecurity and failure are her constant companions. Until, early one morning, opportunity knocks on the door. Will she let it in? Two women whose paths would ordinarily never cross. Two lives about to spiral, but in opposing directions. Two very different stories played out in the media spotlight, welding a unique friendship, BEHIND THE SCENES.
Au-delà de nos limites biologiques
Entre vie prolongée et mort orgasmique, l'un des plus grands généticiens de la planète nous révèle la découverte qui va bouleverser notre monde. Rêve ou cauchemar ? Depuis deux siècles, nous gagnons chaque année trois mois d'espérance de vie. Dans un avenir plus proche qu'on ne l'imagine, nous pourrons vivre cinquante, cent ans de plus. Discrètement, une équipe de chercheurs français a découvert les secrets de la longévité. Pour la première fois, celui qui la dirige nous raconte l'histoire de cette découverte qui va révolutionner l'humanité et relancer l'espoir de vaincre enfin le cancer. Miroslav Radman est l'un des papes de la biologie moléculaire, l'un des plus grand...
Anita Brenner
Journalist, historian, anthropologist, art critic, and creative writer, Anita Brenner was one of Mexico's most discerning interpreters. In this book, her daughter, Susannah Glusker, traces Brenner's intellectual growth and achievements from the 1920s through the 1940s.
