Why Aging Isn’t Inevitable

5/23/2016

This article challenges the common belief that aging is an inevitable and irreversible process. It delves into various scientific theories and research findings that suggest aging can be slowed down or even reversed. The article discusses the role of telomeres, which are caps at the end of chromosomes that protect them from deterioration, and how their shortening is associated with aging. It also explores the concept of cellular senescence and the potential of targeting senescent cells to promote longevity. The article concludes by highlighting the growing field of research focused on understanding the mechanisms of aging and exploring interventions to extend healthy lifespan.
