Epigenetic Alteration Targeting

Meaning

Epigenetic Alteration Targeting is a sophisticated therapeutic strategy focused on precisely modifying the chemical tags on DNA and its associated proteins, like histones, without ever altering the underlying genetic sequence itself. These epigenetic alterations, such as DNA methylation and histone acetylation, critically regulate gene expression and are a key, quantifiable driver of biological aging and disease. Targeting these changes aims to revert detrimental gene expression patterns to a more youthful, healthy, and functional state. This intervention is a core pillar of modern longevity medicine.
