Anti-Aging Mechanisms

Meaning

The complex, interconnected biological pathways and cellular processes that inherently resist or actively counteract the degenerative changes associated with biological aging. These mechanisms encompass a spectrum of physiological defenses aimed at preserving cellular integrity, optimizing tissue function, and extending healthspan. Key elements involve maintaining genomic stability, regulating cellular senescence, and ensuring efficient protein homeostasis throughout the organism. Understanding these fundamental processes offers therapeutic targets for promoting healthy longevity and mitigating age-related decline.
