Description
Book Synopsis: One of Wall Street Journal's "Best Books for Science Lovers" in 2015Science is on the cusp of a revolutionary breakthrough. We now understand more about aging—and how to prevent and reverse it—than ever before.
In recent years, our understanding of the nature of aging has grown exponentially, and dramatic life extension—even age reversal—has moved from science fiction to real possibility.
Dr. Michael Fossel has been in the forefront of aging research for decades and is the author of the definitive textbook on human aging. In The Telomerase Revolution, he takes us on a detailed but highly accessible scientific journey, providing startling insights into the nature of human aging.
Twenty years ago, there was still considerable debate of the nature of human aging, with a variety of competing theories in play. But scientific consensus is forming around the telomere theory of aging. The essence of this theory is that human aging is the result of cellular aging. Every time a cell reproduces, its telomeres (the tips of the chromosomes) shorten. With every shortening of the telomeres, the cell's ability to repair its molecules decreases. It ages. Human aging is the result of the aging of the body's trillions of cells.
But some of our cells don't age. Sex cells and stem cells can reproduce indefinitely, without aging, because they create telomerase. Telomerase re-lengthens the telomeres, keeping these cells young.
The Telomerase Revolution describes how telomerase will soon be used as a powerful therapeutic tool, with the potential to dramatically extend life spans and even reverse human aging. Telomerase-based treatments are already available, and have shown early promise, but much more potent treatments will become available over the next decade.
The Telomerase Revolution is the definitive work on the latest science on human aging, covering both the theory and the clinical implications. It takes the reader to the forefront of the upcoming revolution in human medicine.

Are you ready to unlock the secrets of aging and embrace a longer, healthier life? Look no further than "The Telomerase Revolution: The Enzyme That Holds the Key to Human Aging ... and Will Soon Lead to Longer, Healthier Lives." This groundbreaking book, hailed as one of the "Best Books for Science Lovers" by the Wall Street Journal, is your guide to the latest scientific breakthroughs in the field of aging.
In recent years, our understanding of aging has skyrocketed, and with it, the knowledge of how to prevent and even reverse its effects. Dr. Michael Fossel, a renowned aging researcher, takes you on a captivating scientific journey through the pages of "The Telomerase Revolution." Drawing upon decades of expertise, he unravels the mysteries of human aging and reveals startling insights that will change the way you think about growing older.
At the heart of this revolutionary work is the telomere theory of aging. It explains that our cells age as a result of cellular aging, and with each replication, our telomeres shorten. This shortening process impairs the cell's ability to repair itself, leading to the visible signs of aging. But here's the exciting part - some cells don't age! Sex cells and stem cells possess an enzyme called telomerase, which re-lengthens the telomeres, keeping these cells forever young.
Now, imagine a future where we can harness the power of telomerase to extend our life spans and even reverse the aging process. "The Telomerase Revolution" reveals how telomerase-based treatments are already available, showing promising results in slowing down aging. However, the best is yet to come. In the next decade, we can expect more potent treatments that will truly revolutionize human medicine.
If you're ready to delve into the groundbreaking science and clinical implications of telomerase, "The Telomerase Revolution" is the definitive resource you've been waiting for. This book will empower you with the knowledge to take control of your own aging process and embrace a future of longer, healthier lives.
Don't miss out on this opportunity to be a part of the telomerase revolution. Grab your copy of "The Telomerase Revolution: The Enzyme That Holds the Key to Human Aging ... and Will Soon Lead to Longer, Healthier Lives" today and embark on a journey that will change the way you view aging.
