Apoptosis, programmed cell death, influences aging and related diseases. Understanding its dual roles is key for developing therapies targeting aging and neurodegenerative conditions.

Area of Science:

  • Cellular Biology
  • Gerontology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Apoptosis (programmed cell death) is increasingly recognized for its significant involvement in physiological processes.
  • Its roles in aging and age-related diseases are complex, exhibiting both beneficial and detrimental effects.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the multifaceted roles of apoptosis in the aging process.
  • To highlight the critical involvement of apoptosis in cancer incidence and neurodegenerative diseases.
  • To underscore the therapeutic potential of regulating apoptosis in aging and related pathologies.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review focusing on apoptosis.
  • Analysis of apoptosis's dual roles in aging.
  • Examination of apoptosis's impact on cancer and neurodegeneration.

Main Results:

  • Apoptosis plays a dual role in aging, with both protective and detrimental functions.
  • Apoptosis is crucial in limiting cancer development.
  • Dysregulation of apoptosis contributes to the progression of neurodegenerative disorders.

Conclusions:

  • The regulation of apoptosis presents a promising therapeutic target.
  • Interventions aimed at modulating apoptosis could offer new strategies for treating age-related diseases.
  • Further research into apoptosis mechanisms is warranted for clinical applications in aging.
