Summary

Science is on the cusp of a revolutionary breakthrough. We now understand more about ageing - and how to prevent and reverse it - than ever before. In The Telomerase Revolution, Dr Michael Fossel, who has been at the cutting edge of ageing research for decades, describes how telomerase will soon be used as a powerful therapeutic tool, with the potential to intervene in age-related disease, dramatically extend life spans and even reverse human ageing. Telomerase-based treatments are alread…

Critics Review

The Telomerase Revolution is a remarkable book, telling a fascinating story that pulls together at last a single coherent theory of how and why growing old leads to so many different forms of illness. * Matt Ridley, author of Genome and The Rational Optimist *Dr Fossel’s exciting book is opening doors to extended healthspan that can change human history, and it’s all grounded in solid scientific research. * Noel Patton, founder and chairman of TA Sciences *Michael Fossel’s compelling argument for the telomere approach to reversing aging isn’t just worth a look - it’s like reading the words of Virgil as he leads us along the mysteries of aging. * Alexey Olovnikov, PhD, Institute of Biochemical Physics and Russian Academy of Sciences *
