Longevity Mechanism Study

Meaning

A Longevity Mechanism Study is a systematic scientific investigation focused on elucidating the fundamental biological pathways and molecular processes that govern the rate of aging and determine healthspan and lifespan. These studies often examine conserved mechanisms such as nutrient sensing pathways, DNA repair fidelity, mitochondrial function, and cellular senescence. The clinical objective is to translate these mechanistic discoveries into therapeutic interventions, including pharmaceutical agents or lifestyle protocols, that can slow the aging process and prevent age-related diseases. This field is the core of modern biogerontology.
