What if longevity needs a new way of thinking?

For years, longevity has been approached as a list of targets to fix, markers to optimize, or pathways to correct. But aging does not unfold in isolation.

Energy, metabolism, immunity, inflammation, and resilience are not separate processes – they are in constant dialogue.

At Targeting Longevity 2026, we propose a shift in perspective: to look at aging through interacting biological systems, especially the continuous conversation between mitochondria and microbiota.

Thinking differently means moving beyond linear models. It means opening space for new strategies, new connections, and new questions – before jumping to solutions.

Because the future of longevity may not lie in doing more of the same, but in seeing the system differently.
