Recent Advances in Aging-Related Diseases: Accelerated Aging, Molecular Mechanisms, Interventions, and Therapies

Abstract

Aging is a multifaceted biological process influenced by cellular stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and immune system alterations. This editorial commentary categorizes recent findings of Aging and Disease into three main areas: the acceleration of aging, prediction of age-related decline, and emerging therapeutic strategies. Research indicates that factors such as oxidative stress, chronic inflammation, and genetic predispositions contribute to premature cellular aging and the onset of age-related diseases. Recent advances in biomarkers and machine learning have improved our ability to predict biological age and associated risks, including sarcopenia and cardiovascular decline. Promising therapeutic interventions such as mitochondrial transplantation, immune system modulation, and targeted gene therapies show efficacy in decelerating aging processes and treating conditions such as Alzheimer's disease and tissue fibrosis. A deeper understanding of these interconnected mechanisms lays the groundwork for developing personalized interventions that promote healthy aging.
