Anti-Aging Strategies and Drug Development

"Aging is the greatest risk factor for most chronic diseases, and anti-aging research offers hope for preventing them." — Gordon Lithgow


The pursuit of extending human healthspan—the period of life spent in good health—has led to significant advancements in anti-aging strategies and drug development. Modern research focuses on understanding the biological mechanisms of aging and developing interventions to delay or reverse age-related decline.​

Genetic and Epigenetic Interventions: Modifying gene expression patterns associated with aging is a promising avenue. Techniques like CRISPR and epigenetic drugs are being explored to reset age-related changes at the molecular level.

Lifestyle and Dietary Interventions: Caloric restriction and diets rich in specific plant bioactives have shown potential in modulating aging pathways, emphasizing the role of lifestyle choices in longevity. ​
