This book provides an up-to-date overview of key areas of ageing research with a special focus on anti-ageing intervention strategies, which are currently very much at the forefront of ageing studies.

The volume discusses how dietary restriction, supplements or exercise affect the ageing process. Other intervention strategies reviewed are: chaperone activators, telomerase activation, hormetics, senolytics, NAD boosting, geroprotectors, stem cell therapies, resveratrol and melatonin, to just name a few.

The study and therapeutic application of macrophages is a rapidly developing field. Tremendous progress has been made in understanding the phenotypes and functions of macrophages in healthy and diseased tissues and organs.

Following the great success of Volume 62: "Macrophages - Origin, Functions and Biointervention" published in this series, this new book now focuses on the role of monocytes and macrophages in development, regeneration and disease. This new volume offers an overview of the latest developments in monocyte and macrophage subtypes and functions across various tissues...

This volume covers recent developments on the role, composition, and functional significance of intercellular and interorganellar transfer. It highlights the involvement of intercellular and interorganellar transfer in cell and developmental biology, differentiation, pathogen dissemination, shaping the genetic makeup of organisms, and the development of various diseases.

Animals and plants evolved different communication mechanisms and transfer of molecules and organelles between cells and between organelles within the individual cells. Tunneling nanotubes (TNTs) in animals,...
