Across every mechanism in this network, there is no human lifespan RCT. Not one of the sites mapped here has a randomized controlled trial with a healthy-aging lifespan endpoint. What each site holds is weaker, honestly graded evidence — animal-lifespan data, human biomarker trials, small pilots, or disease-population outcomes. This hub is a map of graded evidence, not advice: it never stacks interventions, never gives a dose, and never tells you to combine sites into a plan.

What this is

IduniX is the entry point to a network of independent mechanism reference sites, one per aging pathway. It does one job: map the hallmarks of aging to the sites that cover them, state the shared evidence standard once, and link out. It publishes no dose, no protocol, and no intervention claim of its own — it is a map, not a plan. It is not a stack, not a regimen, and it never tells you to combine sites.

The 12 hallmarks of aging, mapped

Descriptive, not prescriptive. Four hallmarks currently have a live, source-verified mechanism site; the rest have none yet. No mapping is invented for a site that does not exist. Full detail on the hallmarks page.

#Hallmark of agingMechanism site
1Genomic instability
Accumulating DNA damage and mutations across the nuclear and mitochondrial genome over a lifetime.
no dedicated site yet
2Telomere attrition
Progressive shortening of the protective chromosome-end caps, limiting replicative capacity.
TeloiX — live
3Epigenetic alterations
Age-associated changes in DNA methylation, histone modification and chromatin remodeling.
no dedicated site yet
4Loss of proteostasis
Declining protein quality control, chaperone function and clearance of damaged proteins.
no dedicated site yet
5Disabled macroautophagy
Reduced autophagic turnover of damaged organelles and aggregates (added as a distinct hallmark in 2023).
no dedicated site yet
6Deregulated nutrient-sensing
Dysregulation of the insulin/IGF-1, mTOR, AMPK and sirtuin nutrient-sensing network.
MtoriX — live
7Mitochondrial dysfunction
Declining mitochondrial efficiency, altered dynamics and increased reactive-oxygen-species leakage.
MitoiX — live
8Cellular senescence
Accumulation of growth-arrested cells with a pro-inflammatory secretory phenotype (SASP).
SenesiQ — live
9Stem cell exhaustion
Decline in the regenerative capacity of tissue-resident stem-cell pools.
no dedicated site yet
10Altered intercellular communication
Disrupted endocrine, neuronal and immune signaling between cells and tissues.
no dedicated site yet
11Chronic inflammation
Persistent, low-grade sterile inflammation ('inflammaging') that rises with age.
no dedicated site yet
12Dysbiosis
Age-associated shifts in the composition and function of the gut and other microbiota.
no dedicated site yet

Live mechanism sites

Each card surfaces the site’s own honest strongest-evidence one-liner, verbatim. Every one is amber — real human data, but no healthy-aging lifespan RCT. None is green.

Planned — not yet published

The rest of the network’s owned domains, shown for transparency about the full roadmap. These have no content yet and carry no link — the hub does not point at pages that do not exist. See planned sites.
