Guest guest Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 Hi All, A Roy Walford tribute is below. Longevity Meme news service: http://www.longevitymeme.org/news/ The work of the late Roy Walford is recalled at the open access journal Immunity & Aging: " 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. ... it is highly fitting, therefore, to remember him on 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' " . ----------- The article is available free in full text: 1: Effros RB.
