Q: What is aging, and how do you define it in the context of your work?
Aging is the accumulation of cellular damage over time, including DNA damage, chromatin changes, and protein turnover issues, which leads to loss of tissue function and increased disease risk; the aim is to repair or bypass these processes to restore youthful function.

Everything that improves life can be considered as longevity medicine, but it focuses on multi-morbidity rather than single diseases.
