Depending on how you look at them, aging genes are genes whose expression changes in a predictable with age or genes that influence an organism's lifespan by affecting various biological processes associated with aging. Research on aging genes not only deepens our understanding of the biological aging process, but also opens up potential avenues for developing therapies aimed at extending healthy human lifespan. By targeting these genes, scientists hope to delay the onset of age-related diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, cardiovascular disease, and cancer, ultimately promoting a longer and healthier life.
In this episode, Matt discusses several ways we can identify and categorize aging genes. He talks about how genes can serve as predictive signatures of chronological or biological age, potential conserved genetic regulators of longevity, and how unbiased genetic screens can still be biased. He also provides his unique perspective on aging genes in humans and the potential to optimize longevity through genetic modulation.

Hi, I'm Matt Kaeberlein. I spent the first few decades of my career doing scientific research into the biology of aging, trying to understand the finer details of how humans age in order to facilitate translational interventions that promote healthspan and improve quality of life. Now I want to take some of that knowledge out of the lab and into the hands of people who can really use it.
On this podcast I talk about all things aging and healthspan, from supplements and nutrition to the latest discoveries in longevity research. My goal is to lift the veil on the geroscience and longevity world and help you apply what we know to your own personal health trajectory. I care about quality science and will always be honest about what I don't know. I hope you'll find these episodes helpful!
