Longevity medicine focuses on developing therapeutic interventions aimed at extending the healthy lifespan by targeting the underlying biological processes associated with aging.
Addressing the accumulation of senescent cells can potentially reduce chronic diseases associated with aging such as cardiovascular disease, neurodegenerative disorders, and cancer, thereby extending healthy life span.
This involves identifying and addressing senescent cells—cells that are no longer dividing but remain metabolically active, contributing to age-related tissue dysfunction. Therapies include small molecules, gene therapies, and stem cell treatments designed to clear these cells or modulate their activity.
Manufacturing processes are still in development stages. Techniques include cell culture, gene editing, and small molecule synthesis.
The build process involves extensive preclinical testing to identify effective compounds or therapies that can target senescent cells without causing harm. These are then tested for efficacy and safety in animal models before moving to human trials.
