Anti-Aging Mechanism

Meaning

An Anti-Aging Mechanism refers to any fundamental biological pathway or cellular process that, when optimized or activated, counteracts the intrinsic processes of biological senescence and promotes cellular and organismal longevity. These mechanisms are often endogenous and include processes like DNA repair, telomere maintenance, proteostasis, and the regulation of nutrient sensing pathways. The focus is on modulating these foundational systems to extend healthspan, not merely chronological lifespan. Understanding and targeting these core mechanisms is the basis of contemporary longevity science and regenerative medicine.
