Mechanical memory in aging: From adaptive sensing to pathological entrenchment

Interdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
Mechanical memory in aging operates through four temporal tiers, from cytoskeletal remodeling to metabolic reprogramming. Aging disrupts this cascade through three distinct decoupling patterns: sensor degradation, conduction blockade, and execution failure, leading to irreversible pathological entrenchment across multiple organ systems.
