Understanding the Biology of Aging
Aging is a complex biological process driven by multiple mechanisms across various demensions, from molecules to cells,tissues and organs. Scientists have reached a consensus on the 12 Hallmarks of Aging, each contributing to the gradual decline in body function. By targeting these hallmarks through scientifically-backed interventions, we can delay, halt, or even reverse progression of aging.
The 12 Hallmarks of Aging 【1】
1. Genomic Instability – Caused by long-term exposure to harmful environmental stimuli or endogenous factors (e.g., DNA damage, accumulation of harmful mutations, and DNA repair defects) leads to genetic disorders, cancers, and age-related diseases.
2. Telomere Attrition – Shortened telomeres (protective structures at chromosome ends) causes genomic instability, cell growth arrest, and accelerates age-related diseases.
3. Epigenetic Alterations – Modifications of DNA promotes the expression of aging-related genes, triggers a series of cellular dysfunctions
4. Loss of Proteostasis – Errors in cellular protein translation, processing, and accumulation causing endoplasmic reticulum stress which is closely related to neurodegenerative diseases.
5. Disabled Macroautophagy – Related to proteostasis, the loss of control over the clearance mechanisms for biomolecules and invading pathogens, hindering cellular self-renewal.
6. Deregulated Nutrient-Sensing – Disruption in metabolic pathways accelerates aging and shortens lifespan.
7. Mitochondrial Dysfunction – Reduced energy production and increased oxidative stress, leading to inflammation and cell death.
8. Cellular Senescence – Accumulation of senescent cells causes a "qualitative change" in organismal aging.
9. Stem Cell Exhaustion – Reduced regenerative capacity of tissues.
10. Altered Intercellular Communication – Endocrine system disruption, hormonal imbalance, declined extracellular matrix, and the impact of senescence-associated secretory phenotypes(SASP) on the microenvironment.
11. Chronic Inflammation – Immunosenescence and SASP leads to persistent low-grade inflammation, accompanied by systemic manifestations and vascular, neural, and joint disorders.
12. Dysbiosis – Imbalance in gut microbiota affects metabolism and immune response.
