Innocue follie
Le innocue follie del libro di Stefania Piantanelli sono momenti vissuti da persone comuni che tutt’a un tratto si trovano a osservare le cose in modo nuovo, illuminati da un’insolita intuizione. L’autrice, nei suoi quattordici racconti garbatamente provocatori, tratteggia personaggi alle prese con eventi esterni o epifanie interiori che li spingono ad agire in maniera inaspettata, scardinando convenzioni sociali, o semplicemente scuotendo la consuetudine della loro vita, per approdare a nuove forme di libertà e riscatto. Attraverso uno stile narrativo vario che sa giocare con il lettore – talvolta chiamandolo direttamente in causa, talvolta conducendolo a un’identificazione origi...
Ascoltando Viktor
Il narratore - e con lui il lettore - attraverso le parole di Viktor, accedono ad un’umanità dissonante e densa, intrappolata in limiti e in umane contraddizioni ma desiderosa di scorgere orizzonti inediti, spazi aperti che si offrono solamente a sguardi che hanno scelto di abbandonare la superficie delle cose. Dai racconti di Viktor, personaggio insolito e misterioso, emerge che “perdendo si aprono sempre nuovi spazi e a volte persino nuovi tempi. Perdere è, in fondo, una mezza fortuna: all’inizio malediresti anche il cielo poi invece ti ritrovi ad esplorare una nuova frontiera, una nuova terra alla quale non saresti mai giunto se le cose fossero andate esattamente come speravi, come tu volevi”. [Viktor è un personaggio straordinario realmente vissuto; in questo romanzo le vicende narrate che lo riguardano, i tratti del suo volto e le sue azioni, tranne l’ultima, seguono invece l’indomabile corso della fantasia dell’autore]
Encyclopedia of Biomedical Gerontology
Encyclopedia of Biomedical Gerontology, Three Volume Set presents a wide range of topics, ranging from what happens in the body during aging, the reasons and mechanisms relating to those age-related changes, and their clinical, psychological and social modulators and determinants. The book covers the biological and medical aspects of gerontology within the general framework of the biological basis of assessing age, biological mechanisms of aging, age-related changes in biological systems, human age-related diseases, the biomedical practicality and impracticality of interventions, and finally, the ethics of intervention. Provides a ‘one-stop’ resource to information written by world-leading scholars in the field of biomedical gerontology Fills a critical gap of information in a field that has seen significant progress in the last 10 years
The Aging Clock
The pineal is regarded as an ontogenic and evolutionary point of departure for research on the causes of senescence, suppported by in vivo experimental evidence, such as pineal cross-transplantation. Among the findings reported here, that reinforce the concept of the central clock, is the unique ability of melatonin to keep dangerous hydroxyl radicals under control. In addition, studies on the effect of caloric restriction and nutritional factors are building blocks in the understanding of how and why we age and develop cancer, together with other studies such as: the role of ubiquitous zinc and of extra-pineal melatonin; the disruption of biological rhythms; ultra-structure in brain diseases and dementia; the transacting factors as key regulatory proteins that mediate families of stress response genes; the aging antigen; the mother steroid DHEA during aging; the role of protein kinase C; the loss of D2 dopamine receptors during aging; brain amyloid formation; the role of cell cycles and cyclic AMP; the pineal peptides; and the decay of central neuro-endocrine-immune functions during aging.
Molecular Basis of Nutrition and Aging
Molecular Basis of Nutrition and Aging: A Volume in the Molecular Nutrition Series focuses on the nutritional issues associated with aging and the important metabolic consequences of diet, nutrition, and health. The book is subdivided into four parts that reflect the impact of nutrition from a biomolecular level to individual health. In Part One, chapters explore the general aspects of aging, aging phenotypes, and relevant aspects of nutrition related to the elderly and healthy aging. Part Two includes molecular and cellular targets of nutrition in aging, with chapters exploring lipid peroxidation, inflammaging, anabolic and catabolic signaling, epigenetics, DNA damage and repair, redox home...
