Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
• Lifespan-extending interventions show progressively smaller effects with increasing organismal complexity. • Systems-level factors outweigh single molecular pathways in limiting maximal lifespan extension. • Increasing network buffering and inter-organ communication reduce pathway leverage in mammals. • Caloric restriction and mTOR inhibition retain efficacy but face intrinsic biological constraints in complex organisms. • A conceptual framework linking pathway leverage and system buffering explains declining translational impact across species.
