Move beyond free radical theory of aging

iMetaOmics, Volume 3, Issue 1, March 2026.
Free radicals play a dual, dose‐dependent role in aging. Low levels activate the key sensor adenosine 5'‐monophosphate‐activated protein kinase (AMPK), promoting cell survival mechanisms like autophagy and enhancing mitochondrial health. High levels, however, push AMPK to initiate cell death pathways, such as apoptosis. This positions AMPK as a central
