Table 13. Major Roadblocks in the Antiaging Research and Development.

roadblocks details
Complexity of aging Aging is a complex process that involves multiple mechanisms and pathways, and it is difficult to identify specific targets for intervention.
Insufficiency of knowledge Despite advances in antiaging research, there is still much to be learned about the underlying mechanisms of aging and how they contribute to age-related diseases.
Heterogeneity of aging Aging is a heterogeneous process, and there is significant individual variability in how people age. This makes it challenging to develop personalized antiaging interventions that are effective for everyone.
Regulatory challenges Developing and testing antiaging interventions can be challenging due to regulatory barriers and the need for long-term clinical trials to demonstrate safety and efficacy.
Cost Developing antiaging interventions can be expensive, and there may be limited financial incentives for companies to invest in this area.
Ethical considerations There are ethical considerations associated with antiaging interventions, such as concerns about equity and access, and the potential for unintended consequences.
Perception and stigma There is still a stigma associated with aging and a perception that aging is an inevitable and irreversible process. This can make it challenging to attract funding and support for antiaging research and development.
