Cellular Fortitude

Meaning

Cellular Fortitude refers to the intrinsic robustness and resilience of individual cells against stressors, including oxidative damage, metabolic dysfunction, and senescence-inducing signals, which is a foundational aspect of longevity and hormonal health. A high degree of fortitude implies efficient DNA repair mechanisms, robust mitochondrial function, and effective protein quality control systems. This cellular health directly underpins the functional capacity of endocrine glands and target tissues.
