Summary
  1. "Calcium Homeostasis and Signaling in Aging provides a comprehensive review of the role of calcium in aging and age-related disease. Background chapters describe evolutionary aspects of calcium signaling, mechanisms of calcium homeostasis and signaling, and neuroendocrine regulation of calcium metabolism. A review of general alterations in calcium homeostasis and signaling that occur during normal aging segues into detailed coverage of the involvement of altered calcium signaling in the aging of specific organ systems, and in age-related diseases. An emphasis is placed on major diseases including cardiovascular disease, neurodegenerative disorders, diabetes, osteoporosis and immune disorders. The chapters also describe how information on calcium and aging is leading to new ways of promoting successful aging, and preventing and treating specific diseases. Each chapter, written by a international leader, provides a timely and information-rich view of the topic. This book will be of broad interest to graduate students, postdoctoral scientists and senior investigators in academia and industry who study aging or specific age-related diseases. Experts on calcium signaling who may have interest in applying their knowledge to aging and disease will also find this book an invaluable resource."--BOOK JACKET.
