Abstract
This scientific article explores the molecular mechanisms underlying the processes of longevity and their connection to genes, epigenetics, and the prospects of innovative medicine. The paper presents a review of recent research in the field of longevity genetics, including the identification of specific genes associated with longevity and the deceleration of aging. The article also analyzes the role of epigenetics - changes in gene expression without altering the DNA sequence - in the processes of aging and longevity. This article provides a comprehensive overview of contemporary research on genetic aspects of aging, longevity, and their association with cardiovascular pathology, Alzheimer's disease, and gene therapy. The conclusion of the article discusses the prospects of innovative medicine in the field of longevity. It delves into the potential applications of cutting-edge technologies such as gene therapy and genome editing to enhance the quality of life in the elderly. Ethical and social aspects of implementing such technologies are also discussed. Overall, the article presents an extensive review of the current state of research on the molecular foundations of longevity, highlighting the importance of genes and epigenetics in this context. It also points out the prospects of applying innovative medical approaches to enhance both the quality and duration of life.
