Aging is a biological process that no one can avoid. Ideally, growing old should be a time to relax and enjoy the fruits of your labor. Aging also has a darker side, however, often linked to disease.
Every second, your cells perform billions of biochemical reactions that fuel essential functions for life, forming a highly interconnected metabolic network. This network enables cells to grow, proliferate, and repair themselves, and itsdisruption can drive theaging process.
But does aging cause metabolic decline, or does metabolic disruption accelerate aging? Or both?
To address this chicken-or-egg question, you first need to understand how metabolic processes break down during aging and disease. I am a scientist and researcher, and my lab focuses on exploring the complex relationship between metabolism, stress, and aging. Ultimately, we hope this work will provide strategies to promote healthier aging and more vibrant lives.
Aging is the most significant risk factor ...
