This proposed review aims to shed light on the major genetic and epigenetic contributions ageing process longevity of individuals. In this context, we summarize state knowledge most important variants, their interactions with environment, in achieving a healthy lifespan. We also explore contribution lifestyle influence non-heritable environmental factors (i.e., epigenetics). Accordingly, discuss role inflammageing as one targets overcome morbidity mortality older people for maintenance ageing. more integrated view will display not only underlying mechanisms at play but invites reader rethink both our attitudes toward age.

Aging is a complex process that affects multiple organs, and the discovery of pharmacological approach to ameliorate aging considered Holy Grail medicine. Here, we performed an N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea forward genetic screening in zebrafish identified accelerated mutant named meteor ( met ), harboring mutation Werner syndrome RecQ - like helicase wrn ) gene. Loss leads short lifespan age-related characteristics intestine embryos, such as cellular senescence, genomic instability, epigenetic alteration. Therefore, conducted antiaging drugs using revealed sapanisertib effectively ameliorated most phenotypes mutant. Mechanistically, geroprotective effects may be attributed inhibition mTORC1/2. Furthermore, also attenuated chronological wild-type aged replicative-senescence human foreskin fibroblasts. Taken together, our study introduces unique efficient model for large-scale drug vertebrates suggests potential therapeutic option treating premature promoting healthy aging.
