Anti-Aging Research Targets

Meaning

Anti-Aging Research Targets are specific molecular pathways, fundamental cellular processes, or critical physiological mechanisms that have been scientifically identified as key drivers of biological aging and the development of age-related chronic diseases. By precisely modulating these targets, the overarching clinical aim is to extend the individual’s healthspan, which is the period of life spent in good health and functional independence, rather than merely attempting to prolong chronological lifespan. Key examples include the sirtuin enzyme family, the mTOR nutrient sensing pathway, and the management of senescent cell accumulation, all essential for maintaining systemic cellular resilience and optimal function.
