Pharmacology of Aging
Pharmacology of Aging
Pharmacology of aging focuses on development and application of agents that target biological mechanisms driving aging. Rather than treating individual diseases, this field aims to modulate conserved pathways influencing metabolic regulation, cellular maintenance, inflammation, and stress responses. Pharmacology of aging emphasizes prevention, healthspan extension, and functional preservation. Drugs are evaluated for their ability to influence multiple aging processes simultaneously. This approach represents a shift toward mechanism-based interventions that delay onset of age-related decline. Understanding pharmacology of aging supports translation of aging biology into therapeutic strategies for population-level health improvement.
