Cellular Repair Mechanisms

Meaning

Cellular Repair Mechanisms encompass the intricate biochemical and molecular pathways within a cell dedicated to detecting, correcting, and mitigating damage to cellular components, including DNA, proteins, and organelles. These processes are fundamental to maintaining genomic integrity, protein functionality, and overall cellular homeostasis, directly influencing tissue health and the rate of biological aging. They are continuously active in response to endogenous and exogenous stressors.
