genetic regulation of aging

Genetic regulation of aging involves specific genes and biological processes that influence how we age. Certain genes control cellular repair, metabolism, and the body's response to stress. As we age, these processes can become less efficient due to gene expression changes or mutations. Research has identified pathways, like those related to insulin signaling and DNA repair, that play a crucial role in longevity. Scientists are exploring how manipulating these genes or their pathways could promote healthier aging, potentially extending lifespan and improving quality of life as we grow older.
