Longevity Signaling Pathway

Meaning

A complex, evolutionarily conserved biochemical cascade within cells that, when modulated, influences the rate of biological aging and the propensity for age-related disease. These pathways, including mTOR, AMPK, and sirtuins, act as master regulators, integrating nutrient availability and metabolic stress signals to control cellular growth, repair, and survival. Clinical strategies aimed at optimizing these pathways are central to modern preventative and longevity medicine protocols.
