Longevity
Aging-related mechanisms, tissue maintenance, and the evidentiary limits of geroscience claims.
Research frame
Longevity is not a single endpoint. Research may measure oxidative stress, cellular senescence, matrix remodeling, function, morbidity, or survival, and those measures should not be treated as interchangeable.
Atlas prioritizes direct study context over broad anti-aging language and marks when evidence is confined to cells or animal models.
