All of us would like to live longer, or to slow the debilitating effects of age. In How We Age, Coleen Murphy shows how recent research on longevity and aging may be bringing us closer to this goal. Murphy, a leading scholar of aging, explains that the study of model systems, particularly simple invertebrate animals, combined with breakthroughs in genomic methods, have allowed scientists to probe the molecular mechanisms of longevity and aging.

Eine faszinierende Vorstellung: Wie wäre es, wenn sich die biologische Uhr, die in jedem von uns tickt, anhalten ließe – oder sogar ein Stück zurückdrehen? Und das nicht bloß gefühlt, sondern messbar? Dieses Versprechen ist seit Kurzem Realität. Der junge Forschungszweig der Epigenetik hat den Deckel von der Altersuhr gehoben – und in aktuellen Studien nun sogar den Sprung in die praktische Anwendung geschafft. Genau darum geht es in diesem Hörbuch: Was kann ich ganz konkret tun, um meine Altersuhr zurückzudrehen? Um wie viele Monate oder gar Jahre lässt sich der Zeiger zurückstellen?

In GATTACA Has Fallen: how population genetics failed the populace, Dr. Ian Myles explains that the root of all of these issues is the belief that genetics meaningfully guide our fate. Using less controversial examples like eczema and allergic diseases, the book demonstrates how claiming there are genes for asthma is similar to claiming there are genes for intellect or favorite flavor of tea.

Com base na arqueogenética, cientistas como Johannes Krause traçaram a rota das ondas migratórias que povoaram o mundo, lançando luz sobre aspectos do passado que até então permaneciam um mistério. Krause e o jornalista Thomas Trappe reescrevem um dos capítulos mais interessantes desse percurso: o povoamento da Europa. Além disso, detalham a cultura dos povos que viviam lá no período pré-histórico, formados por hábeis artesãos, por pessoas que enterravam os mortos com joias de ouro muito antes dos faraós do Egito e por caçadores de grandes animais que pereceram na Era do Gelo.

The narrative charts an exhilarating course from the dawn of life to an AGI-dominated future.

For over a century we saw Neanderthals as inferior to Homo Sapiens. After new discoveries, the pendulum swung the other way and they are generally seen as our relatives: not quite human, but similar enough, and still not equal. Now, thanks to an ongoing revolution in palaeoanthropology in which he has played a key part, Ludovic Slimak shows us that they are something altogether different - and they should be understood on their own terms rather than by comparing them to ourselves. As he reveals in this stunning book, the Neanderthals had their own history, their own rituals, their own customs.

In this exploration of the concept of the gene, Jonathan Slack looks at the discovery, nature, and role of genes in both evolution and development. Explaining the nature of genetic variation in the human population, how hereditary factors were identified as molecules of DNA, and how certain specific mutations can lead to disease, Slack highlights how DNA variants are used to trace human ancestry and migration, and can also be used by forensic scientists to identify individuals in crime.

We are on the cusp of a major transformation in healthcare—yet few people know it. At top hospitals and a few innovative health-tech startups, scientists are working closely with patients to dramatically extend their "healthspan"—the number of healthy years before disease sets in. In The Age of Scientific Wellness, two visionary leaders of this revolution in health take us on a thrilling journey to this new frontier of medicine.

Eating disorders are one of the most common but elusive conditions to treat in all of Psychiatry. While current treatments do help some patients with eating disorders, many individuals receive little to no benefit from treatment options, leading to a lifelong struggle with anxiety around eating and body image.

Nuestro código genético, el ADN, es la información más íntima y profunda que heredamos de nuestros padres y antepasados. Es, además, casi igual entre los seres humanos. Podríamos decir que solo una porción minúscula es responsable de que podamos ver tantas diferencias a simple vista: color de ojos, de piel, de pelo, de altura. Pero ese mínimo porcentaje es también el que nos puede brindar datos esenciales para saber qué alimentos consumir para mejorar nuestra calidad de vida y prolongarla.
