How Aging Affects Cell Regulation and Potential Treatments for Age-Related Diseases

AI simplified

Abstract

Biological aging involves the progressive erosion of cellular homeostasis influenced by multiple pathways.

  • Aging-related processes include inflammation, immune system decline, mitochondrial issues, and genetic instability.
  • These mechanisms are linked to diseases such as atherosclerosis, obesity, sarcopenia, neurodegenerative disorders, rheumatoid arthritis, and cancer.
  • Factors like microbiome imbalances, sex differences, and exosome communication may affect disease progression.
  • Advancements in technologies and AI-driven biomarkers, such as epigenetic clocks, can quantify biological aging and assess disease risk.
  • Therapeutic approaches targeting shared aging mechanisms include senolytics, mitochondrial enhancers, and immunomodulators, aiming for holistic health interventions.
