Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Membrane Hypothesis of Aging offers the most comprehensive, multidisciplinary description of the cell maturation and aging process. The membrane hypothesis of aging (MHA) described in this book is based on the actual multidisciplinary knowledge of cell morphology, physiology, and biochemistry. The solid basis of known facts explains the destructive, progressive, intrinsic, and universal character of the aging process. The book interprets other aging theories, including free radical theory of aging, dysdifferentiation hypothesis of aging and cancer, and the accumulation theories. It presents important issues for future research. The book also outlines the possibilities of an efficient, preventive, anti-aging drug design, and presents the first promising results of such research activity.
