Cellular Capital

Meaning

Cellular Capital is a metaphor representing the finite reservoir of high-quality, functional biological resources within an organism, encompassing healthy, non-senescent cell populations, optimal telomere length, and maximal mitochondrial integrity. This capital is the foundational biological substrate necessary for all complex physiological functions, including robust hormone production, effective immune response, and efficient tissue regeneration. Maintaining a high level of cellular capital is the central clinical pursuit in the domains of healthspan and longevity medicine. Its depletion is a hallmark of biological aging.
