Applied Final Project – Scholarly Paper

Subject: Sarcopenia

Scholarly Paper Subject Article: Sarcopenia, obesity, and natural killer cell immune senescence in aging: Altered cytokine levels as a common mechanism (Attached as PDF)

In this assignment, you are required to write a scholarly paper that summarizes a particular aspect of aging research. The final paper will need to be ~7 double spaced pages (approximately 2500-3000 words), excluding title and bibliographic pages.  This is a scholarly paper about a review article (a scientific paper, written for scientists that reviews what is currently known about a subject) or a research article (generally the result of a single (highly significant) experiment in series of related experiments).

You will be required to include the following sections:

1)      The importance of the subject to aging research in general

2)      An analysis of the article such that fellow class members will understand it without additional research.

3)      Information on how the mechanism of the condition discussed contributes to aging

4)      How the information revealed in the article may lead to treatments or cures

Within in those section you much address the following course outcomes:

Demonstrate an understanding of cellular structure and function in order to define homeostasis in aging

Examine cellular interactions within tissues and between organ systems in order to recognize factors that contribute to mental and physical well-being

Define the developmental processes involved in cellular maturation in order to make informed decisions about health maintenance and disease prevention throughout the human lifespan

Apply knowledge of human aging to influence decision making in economics and public health policy

Make sure to include a Reference section in which you provide the full citation of your chosen articles and any additional materials you used to prepare your paper; a full citations includes: title of the article,…
