'...provides the reader with insightful guidance to ensure they arrive to ’old age’ not just prepared but ready for all that this time of life offers and requires.'-Stephen Panus, author of bestselling Walk On'My copy of the book is already underlined and dog-eared! No doubt, I will refer to it over and over again.'-Kathleen Cochran, managing director and strategic communications (ret.) of Price Waterhouse CoopersBased on the latest research on aging, along with hundreds of interviews and focus groups with retirees ages sixty-five to ninety-five, Marilyn Laken has written a comprehensive guide to living into old age. Her unique background as a nurse and a biological anthropologist provides a rich context to topics such as why we age, the role that culture plays in how older adults are treated, and even what kind of ancestor we want to be. She covers everything from early retirement to end of life. As Marilyn explains, 'Aging is biological and cultural. It is a time of discovery and a time of loss. Most of us are unprepared.' From the biology of aging to dealing with ageism and making decisions about where and how to live and what to do with our stuff, this book covers it all.

    Viruses are obligate intracellular parasites that need to co-opt a living cell’s machinery for replication. At the heart of the viral replication machinery are the nucleic acid polymerases, which are responsible for efficiently copying the viral genome. This process must often be coordinated with other viral processes, including protein translation and viral packaging. The poly...

    Joëlle Roche
    The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a highly dynamic process with multiple transitional states, by which epithelial cells can convert into a mesenchymal phenotype. This process involves loss of cellular adhesion and cellular polarity, and an improvement in migratory and invasive properties. It occurs during normal embryonic development, tissue regeneration, organ ...
