Cellular Repair Cycle

Meaning

The Cellular Repair Cycle encompasses the coordinated sequence of biochemical events within a cell dedicated to identifying, mitigating, and correcting molecular damage, particularly to DNA and organelles. This continuous, energy-intensive process is fundamental to preventing cellular senescence and malignant transformation. The cycle’s efficiency is a primary determinant of an organism’s health span and resistance to age-related pathology.
