Aging Biology
Summary
Lecture Objectives
- "Aging is a phenomena in which an organism loses its biological function as it
ages, and this process takes place in the cells or tissues of the organism. The ‘Aging
Biology’ course serves as the foundation for comprehending the changes in biological
function brought on by aging and researching how these changes can be stopped or slowed
down. The main topics cover research on geriatric diseases brought on by aging, such as
Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and
musculoskeletal degeneration, as well as genetic, environmental, and biochemical factors
that affect the aging process.
The study of aging is a crucial area of biology that will likely reveal a lot about how to
prevent and treat disease as well as improve human health. According to recent study, it
may be feasible to slow down or even reverse aging. These findings may also lead to the
development of new preventative and therapeutic approaches for age-related disorders."
