This Biology of Aging and Geroscience session explores fundamental biological mechanisms that drive aging and age-related decline across tissues and organ systems. Topics include cellular and molecular hallmarks of aging, damage accumulation, proteostasis, metabolic dysfunction, and inter-organ communication networks. Discussions will emphasize geroscience principles linking aging biology to chronic diseases, highlighting how targeting root aging processes may delay or prevent multiple pathologies simultaneously. Experimental models, comparative biology of lifespan, and translational approaches bridging bench to bedside will be covered. The track aims to integrate systems-level perspectives and identify conserved mechanisms that can be modulated to extend healthspan, rather than focusing on single disease entities in isolation.
