"The noble Cavendishes were one of the most influential families in the politics and culture of early modern England and beyond. A Companion to the Cavendishes offers a comprehensive account of the Cavendish family's creative output and cultural significance in the seventeenth century. It discusses the writings of individuals including William and Margaret Cavendish, and William's daughters Jane and Elizabeth; family members' work and patronage in other media such as music, architecture, and the visual arts; their participation in contemporary developments in politics, philosophy, and horsemanship; and the networks in which they moved both in England and in continental Europe. It also covers the work of less well-known family members such as the poet and biographer George Cavendish and the composer Michael Cavendish. This volume combines path-breaking scholarship with discussion of existing research, making it an invaluable resource for all those interested in this fascinating and diverse group of men and women."--Publisher's website.

Sommario/riassunto

This book provides a comprehensive understanding of cellular senescence, which is a phenomenon, characterized by the irreversible arrest of cell growth and is accompanied by the secretion of various factors, collectively known as the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), which can have detrimental effects on surrounding cells and tissues. The book examines the role of cellular senescence as a driver of age-related disorders such as cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, cardiovascular conditions, and metabolic disorders. By elucidating the molecular mechanisms involved, the book aims to deepen our understanding of these complex diseases and identify potential therapeutic targets. The book also explores cutting-edge therapeutic modalities that target cellular senescence, ranging from small molecule inhibitors to gene-based therapies and regenerative approaches. The distinctive features of the book include its comprehensive approach, integration of multidisciplinary expertise, in-depth exploration of therapeutic modalities, evidence-based insights supported by scientific research, and a translational focus. The interdisciplinary collaboration ensures a holistic understanding of the subject matter, fostering a synergistic approach to addressing age-related disorders. The book not only discusses the potential of emerging therapeutic modalities but also emphasizes practical implications, providing a bridge between research and real-world applications. This book is useful to researchers, scientists, and academics in the fields of molecular biology, genetics, gerontology, and cellular biology.
