The intentional modulation of intracellular and intercellular communication pathways associated with cellular senescence and longevity mechanisms. This concept targets the biochemical cascades that govern the aging phenotype at a fundamental level. It seeks to influence factors like DNA repair fidelity and mitochondrial health signaling within tissues. We are essentially tuning the cell’s internal dialogue to favor maintenance over decline.
Origin
Emerged from the intersection of molecular biology, gerontology, and advanced nutritional science. The phrase emphasizes applying knowledge of specific molecular pathways to influence the duration of healthy life. It signifies a shift from treating age-related diseases to proactively addressing the underlying molecular drivers of aging pathways.
Mechanism
Operates by upregulating beneficial signaling cascades such as sirtuin activity or AMPK pathways, while concurrently dampening detrimental signals like chronic inflammation or mTOR overactivation. This involves precision application of compounds or modalities that interact directly with these regulatory proteins. The goal is to shift the cellular state toward robust maintenance and repair mechanisms, thereby improving tissue function longevity.
