12 Hallmarks of Aging
- Paul Taylor discusses 12 hallmarks of aging based on seminal research papers.
- These hallmarks interact and drive the mammalian aging process.
Genomic Instability
- Genomic instability, the first hallmark, involves DNA damage accumulation from toxins and metabolic processes.
- This instability elevates cancer risk due to DNA replication errors.
Telomere Attrition
- Telomere attrition, the second hallmark, involves the shortening of protective caps on chromosomes with each cell replication.
- This shortening contributes to cellular aging and dysfunction.
