These two molecular systems operate as opposing forces within your cells—one promoting growth when nutrients abound, the other activating cellular repair when resources become scarce.</p> <p>For researchers, clinicians, and health professionals working to translate bench findings into healthspan-extending interventions, understanding this dynamic is essential. The tension between these pathways shapes nearly every aspect of the aging process, from metabolic syndrome to neurodegeneration.</p>
