Cellular Repair Pathways

Meaning

Cellular Repair Pathways encompass the intricate, highly regulated molecular mechanisms within a cell responsible for detecting, neutralizing, and correcting damage to cellular components, including DNA, proteins, and organelles. These processes are essential for maintaining genomic integrity, cellular homeostasis, and overall tissue function, directly influencing longevity and disease resistance. The efficiency of these pathways is a critical determinant of biological aging and the cell’s ability to recover from stressors.
