  • Analyzing gerontogenic processes.
  • Applying hormesis principles to aging research.

Main Results:

  • Hormesis presents a promising approach for aging intervention.
  • Mild stress may play a role in slowing aging processes.
  • Identification of gerontogenes is facilitated by hormetic effects.

Conclusions:

  • Hormesis is a powerful new approach in aging research and therapy.
  • Further research is needed to clarify the concept of mild stress in hormesis.
  • The application of hormesis holds significant potential for gerontological interventions.
