Age-Related Signal Decay

Meaning

Age-Related Signal Decay describes the progressive deterioration in the efficiency and fidelity of intercellular communication pathways that occurs with advancing age. This decline impacts the ability of cells, tissues, and organ systems to accurately send, receive, and interpret crucial molecular messages. It represents a fundamental breakdown in the sophisticated biological network that maintains homeostasis and adaptive capacity. Clinically, this manifests as reduced hormonal sensitivity and slower systemic response to stimuli.
