architecture for aging
Aging architecture refers to how the body’s structures, like cells, tissues, and organs, change over time. As we age, these components experience wear and tear, decreased efficiency, and reduced ability to repair themselves. This process involves molecular changes, such as DNA damage, accumulation of damaged proteins, and loss of cellular function. These alterations gradually impact overall health and function, contributing to age-related conditions. Understanding aging architecture helps scientists develop strategies to maintain healthy function longer, by targeting or repairing these structural and molecular changes.
