genetic aging

Genetic aging refers to how our genes influence the aging process of our bodies. As we age, our DNA can accumulate damage and undergo changes that affect cell function. Certain genes are involved in repairing this damage, regulating growth, and managing stress on cells. Over time, these processes can slow down, leading to symptoms of aging like decreased energy, slower healing, and increased susceptibility to diseases. Understanding genetic aging helps researchers explore how we might promote healthier lifespans and develop therapies to counteract age-related decline.
