The Journal of Anti-Aging Medicine
(ISSN 1094-5458) is now being published by Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., a major New York publisher of more than 40 scientific and medical journals... For more details click on Mary Ann Liebert, Inc.
Dr. Fossel explains... "The question is *not* "Will we extend healthy life?" but "When and How?" This journal focuses on our growing understanding of the aging process from the molecular level to the clinical level, publishing peer-reviewed papers on both scientific and clinical research on aging that have potential therapeutic benefits. The JAAM will also provide a forum for provocative points of view that merit consideration."
Topics such as
| Telomeres and Senescence | Free Radical Metabolism |
| Telomeres and Cancer | Oxidative Damage |
| Studies with Senescence-Accelerated Mice | Progeria (Hutchinson-Guilford and Werner's Syndrome) |
| Regulation of Telomerase Activity | DHEA Studies |
