Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

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.
