In \u003ci\u003eHow We Age\u003c\/i\u003e, Coleen Murphy shows how recent research on longevity and aging may be bringing us closer to this goal. Murphy, a leading scholar of aging, explains that the study of model systems, particularly simple invertebrate animals, combined with breakthroughs in genomic methods, have allowed scientists to probe the molecular mechanisms of longevity and aging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUnderstanding the fundamental biological rules that govern aging in model systems provides clues about how we might slow human aging, which could lead in turn to new therapeutics and treatments for age-related disease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAmong other vivid examples, Murphy describes research that shows how changing a single gene in the nematode worm \u003ci\u003eC. elegans\u003c\/i\u003e doubles its lifespan, extending not only the end of life but also the youthful, healthy part of life. Drawing on work in her own lab as well as other recent research, Murphy chronicles the history and current state of the field, explaining longevity's links to reproduction and mating, sensory and cognitive function, inheritances from our ancestors, and the gut microbiome.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWritten with clarity and wit, \u003ci\u003eHow We Age\u003c\/i\u003e provides a guide to the science: what we know about aging, how we know what we know, and what we can do with this new knowledge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"NewSouth Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46854596788460,"sku":"9780691256825","price":44.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/66d1def1715ecf7ce3e8f6ecc6f37b6a.jpg?v=1759267882"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/coleen-t-murphy.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
