Longevity medicine and telomere extension is a scientific approach aimed at extending human lifespan by preventing cellular aging through the manipulation of telomeres.
Aging-related diseases and reduced lifespan due to cellular senescence and DNA damage accumulation.
The process involves activating telomerase, an enzyme that can add repetitive nucleotide sequences (telomeres) to the ends of chromosomes. This prevents the shortening of telomeres during cell division, which is a key factor in cellular aging and senescence.
Laboratory research and development are currently focused on identifying safe and effective methods for telomerase activation. This includes both genetic and pharmacological approaches.
Involves in vitro studies, animal models, and eventually clinical trials to test the safety and efficacy of telomerase activators.
