Full Description
This volume on experimental gerontology deals with the effects of aging on blood cells and rheology. Since gerontology is an interdisciplinary science, numerous experts engaged in various disciplines present their up-to-date results related to aging. The detailed accounts compiled in this book will augment the knowledge of red cells, immunology, receptors, blood coagulation, and rheology. The volume provides a valuable basis for future scientific work in gerontological research.
