This volume represents a summary of reports on studies using the Senescence Accelerated Mouse, as presented at the 2nd International Conference on Senescence: The SAM Model, held from 21-23 July in Sapporo, Japan. Work on the SAM began in 1968 in the Department of Pathology, Chart Disease Research Institute (currently Field of Regeneration Control Institute for Frontier Medical Sciences) of Kyoto University. Since 1982, experiments on the SAM have been carried out in over 300 laboratories in Japan and other countries. Many emerging aspects of the SAM model were successfully dealt with at the f

The scientific and economic significance of plant senescence means that much effort has been made to understand the processes involved and to devise means of manipulating them agriculturally. During the past few years there has been considerable progress in this regard, especially in the molecular, genetic and genomic aspects. Senescence has a tremendous impact on agriculture. For example, leaf senescence limits crop yield and biomass production, and contributes substantially to postharvest loss in vegetable and ornamental crops during transportation, storage and on shelves. In addition, prote

As cells mature they naturally stop dividing and enter a period called senescence. But cellular senescence can also be induced prematurely by certain oncogenes involved in cancer development. Cellular senescence, a growth-arrest program that limits the lifespan of mammalian cells and prevents unlimited cell proliferation, is attracting considerable interest because of its links to tumor suppression.

Featuring extensive references, updated for this paperback edition, Longevity, Senescence, and the Genome constitutes a landmark contribution to biomedicine and the evolutionary biology of aging. To enhance gerontology’s focus on human age-related dysfunctions, Caleb E. Finch provides a comparative review of all the phyla of organisms, broadening gerontology to intersect with behavioral, developmental, evolutionary, and molecular biology. By comparing species that have different developmental and life spans, Finch proposes an original typology of senescence from rapid to gradual to n

Combining anthropological, gerontological and biocultural evidence, this study explores how humans came to grow old as slowly as they do, and what impacts this has had on their health and lives. It is only comparatively recent that humans have developed late-life survival, but much of the research on senescence is based on isolated cells, worms, and fruit flies, which may be only of peripheral relevance to human aging.

This text provides a unique combination of succinctly expressed basic concepts of cell growth and cell death with detailed instructions and protocols on how to measure accurately these processes. Practical instructions are accompanied by explanatory material which allows the researcher to choose which particular protocol is best for their purpose. The methods outlined range from simple techniques, such as autoradiography and cell staining, to more complex techniques, such as flow cytometry.
