Anti-Aging Biology

Meaning

Anti-aging biology investigates fundamental cellular and molecular mechanisms driving organismal aging, aiming to modulate these processes for healthy lifespan extension. This field examines hallmarks of aging: genomic instability, telomere attrition, epigenetic alterations, loss of proteostasis, deregulated nutrient sensing, mitochondrial dysfunction, cellular senescence, stem cell exhaustion, and altered intercellular communication. The objective is to develop interventions targeting these pathways.
