Aggregation

Meaning

In a biological context, Aggregation refers to the process where individual molecules, cells, or particles cluster together to form larger, often complex masses. This phenomenon is a critical factor in various physiological and pathological processes, including protein misfolding, platelet clumping, and the formation of amyloid plaques. In the context of hormonal health, protein aggregation can interfere with receptor function and cellular signaling, impacting overall endocrine function.
