Aging, cancer, and autophagy: connections and therapeutic perspectives

Abstract excerpt

Aging and cancer are intricately linked through shared molecular processes that influence both the onset of malignancy and the progression of age-related decline. As organisms age, cellular stress, genomic instability, and an accumulation of senescent cells create a pro-inflammatory environment conducive to cancer development. Autophagy, a cellular process responsible for degrading and recycling damaged...
