Book Description
In a world captivated by the pursuit of longevity, ‘Anti-Aging Polypharmacology’ emerges as a beacon of innovative exploration. Dr Zhiguo Wang delves into this groundbreaking sub-discipline of pharmacology, offering a comprehensive guide to not just extending lifespan, but also promoting vibrant health and vitality throughout the aging process. Aging, once viewed as an inevitable decline, is reframed as a target for therapeutic intervention. Dr Wang unveils the multifaceted nature of aging, influenced by both genetic and environmental factors, and introduces the concept of treating aging as a ‘disease’ to be managed pharmacologically.
