This book, Gut microbiome and Brain Ageing, deals with the mechanisms and phenomenon that relates gut microbiome and aging of the brain. This book will bring forth the connection between good gut and brain aging and includes some cutting edge research topics dealing with gut physiology and its importance as future therapeutic option in neurological disorders. The gut microbiome's impact on neuronal function, mediated by neurotransmitters, vitamins, and neuroactive microbial metabolites, is an exciting area of investigation that this book thoroughly explores. It also covers the pivotal role of the gut microbiome in the etiology of various neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer¿s disease (AD), Parkinson¿s disease (PD), depression, or multiple sclerosis (MS). It also explores the expanding understanding of the importance of the early-life gut microbiota and its implications for long-term health consequences. This book primarily addresses researchers, clinicians, and doctoral andgraduate students working in biomedicine, neurobiology, nutrition, microbiology, and translational medicine streams.

This book discusses the mechanism and therapeutic strategies of phytochemicals against brain ageing. It discusses the underlying anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory mechanisms of the phytochemicals and the implications of these compounds in the prevention and treatment of geriatric diseases. It discusses the potential role of the highly complex interactive network between the gut and the brain in neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson¿s disease (PD), and Alzheimer¿s disease. The chapters provide insight into the mechanisms involved in brain ageing and the mechanism of actions of the phytochemicals that might be crucial in developing effective new therapies against brain ageing. The chapter also presents the mechanisms of action of phytoconstituents, bioavailabilities, and their effects on neuroinflammation. The chapters also examine the phytochemicals protection of neurons via targeting oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, neurotrophic factor deficit, apoptosis, and abnormal protein accumulation. This book aims to provide comprehensive and cutting-edge information on the potential neuroprotective role of phytochemicals on the brain and neurological disorders to researchers, neuroscientists, clinical nutritionists, and physicians.

Stem Cells and Signaling Pathways brings together chapters exploring the mechanism of stem cells and the signaling pathways. This book is a very concise and easy-to-use book. It serves as an ideal reference to guide investigators towards further valuable answers on the role of stem cells and will aid basic researchers and scientists in biomedical sciences and tissue engineering and regenerative medicine with a wide variety of interests in stem cell biology linking basic signal transduction for possible future therapies directed to treatments and different diseases. Significant information on signaling has been presented here. Sufficient knowledge has been provided on therapeutic approaches for the treatment of different degenerative disorders.

Cancer Stem Cells and Signaling Pathways explores the mechanism of cancer stem cell signaling pathways in cancer advancement, serving as an ideal reference guide for investigators with valuable answers to problems associated with anti-cancer treatments and an understanding of the crosstalk among the signaling pathways in CSC regulation. Despite recent advances in tumor therapy and a greater understanding of their biology, tumors continue to be a prevalent and fatal worldwide. According to a novel paradigm in tumor biology, a small percentage of the cells within a tumor known as cancer stem cells (CSCs) are predicted as a crucial population for tumor progression.

This book illustrates the recent advancements in the role of functional foods in preventing age-related disorders. It correlates age-related diseases and the effect of dietary compounds from different functional foods, herbs, and nutraceuticals. Notably, the book describes unique nutrition problems in many chronic diseases such as bone disease, cardiovascular disorders, brain disorders, immune disorders, and cancers. The book also discusses the use of functional foods for controlling osteoporosis, improving bone strength, maintaining dental health, controlling obesity, gut health, and maintaining immune function using functional ingredients such as probiotics and prebiotics. Further, it presents the state of the art of aging and nutrigenomics research and the molecular mechanisms underlying the beneficial effects of bioactive nutrients on major aging-related disorders. Finally, the book embodies the latest findings and the mechanisms of actions of functional foods in aging anddegenerative diseases and their beneficial uses in the aged population. ¿
