Scientists probe which parts of aging can be slowed

Original: Why do we age — and can science slow it? Aging is not one biological clock. It is a network involving DNA damage, cellul

Researchers argue that aging is not a single biological clock but a network of processes: DNA damage, cellular senescence, mitochondrial dysfunction, inflammation, epigenetic change and declining repair. Longevity science is now testing which of these mechanisms can be targeted to slow aging, renewing public interest in whether interventions could extend healthy lifespan.

Why now: Ongoing longevity research on the biological mechanisms of aging is drawing attention to whether aging can be delayed.
