Mechanisms¶
Biological mechanisms underlying aging and longevity.
Overview¶
This section covers the key cellular and molecular mechanisms that drive aging processes.
Key Mechanisms¶
- Cellular Senescence - Controlled cellular aging
- p53 Guardian - Tumor suppressor pathways
- Telomeres - Chromosomal aging timers
- Weismann Barrier - Soma-germline separation
- Immune Surveillance - Policing rogue cells
