Aliquot #102: The Future of Aging Therapeutics, Part 1
Researchers in the field of aging science have identified nine hallmarks of aging – observable biological patterns of dysfunction that occur as an organism ages. Scientists are exploring a wide range of cutting-edge therapies aimed at understanding and manipulating the complex processes underlying these hallmarks, including epigenetic aging clocks and pluripotent stem cells.

In this Aliquot, part I of this two-part series on the future of aging research, I present an overview of the hallmarks of aging and describe some of the recent advances in aging research.
-
The nine (cellular and molecular) hallmarks of aging
-
The impact of phenotypic aging
-
What genomic instability means for aging
-
Why mitochondria matter and how to repair them
-
What do epigenetic clocks tell us about aging?
-
What makes our biological clocks 'tick' faster or slower?
-
At what point does the aging process start?
-
