[Mechanisms of aging and age-related homeodynamics of bio-elementome.]

This article presents a data science review and our own evaluation on bio-element mediated aging of the human body from the point of view of homeodynamics of bioelementome. The study of bio-element basis of aging is currently one of the actively developing fields in gerontology. During postnatal ontogenesis, the bio-elementome shows no signs of stability. Being extremely dependent on endogenous and exogenous circumstances, the levels of macro- and microelements can either remain within the normal range or undergo significant changes, especially with the body aging. These bio-element developments appear to be very important in terms of a large number of currently known molecular, subcellular, cellular, and tissue mechanisms of aging (oxidative stress, loss of proteostasis, excessive telomere attrition, epigenetic landscape alterations, apoptosis, altered intercellular communication, and many others). Better understanding of metabolic pathways of essential bio-elements (intake in the gastrointestinal tract; absorption, including due to interaction with specific transporting proteins; spread through the circulatory system and the entire body; inclusion in specialized macromolecules and participation in their composition in biochemical processes; excretion from the body), as well as realizing their role in the mechanisms of senile tissue and organ involution, and features of age-related homeodynamics can significantly improve existing knowledge on the biology of aging.
