Abstract:
Aging is a major risk factor for a variety of diseases, thus, translation of aging research into practical applications is driven by the unmet need for existing clinical therapeutic options. Basic and translational research efforts are converging at a critical stage, yielding insights into how fundamental aging mechanisms are used to identify promising geroprotectors or therapeutics. This review highlights several research areas from a clinical perspective, including senescent cell targeting, alleviation of inflammaging, and optimization of metabolism with endogenous metabolites or precursors. Refining our understanding of these key areas, especially from the clinical angle, may help us to better understand and attenuate aging processes and improve overall health outcomes.
