Guest guest Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 Hi All, A tribute appears to have made to Roy Walford in the below not pdf-available paper. Roy Walford and the immunologic theory of aging. Immun Ageing. 2005 Apr 25;2(1):7 [Epub ahead of print] Effros RB. Roy Walford died on April 27, 2004, at the age of 79. His contributions to gerontological research in such diverse areas as caloric restriction, genetics of lifespan, immunosenescence, dna repair and replicative senescence were truly remarkable in their depth and innovation. Significantly, most of the areas that he pioneered during his illustrious research career remain the hot areas of current gerontological research. In this sense, he has achieved the most important type of immortality. His death was a major personal and professional loss to numerous scientists within the gerontological community. In launching this new journal on Immunity and Ageing, it is highly fitting, therefore, to remember him in the anniversary of his death by briefly reviewing the contributions of Roy Walford to this important facet of gerontology. Indeed, it was Roy who actually first coined the commonly used term immunosenescence.
