Cellular Resilience Factors

Meaning

The intrinsic and extrinsic molecular components and physiological processes that endow a cell with the capacity to withstand, adapt to, and rapidly recover from various forms of biological stress, such as oxidative damage, thermal extremes, or nutrient deprivation. These factors are crucial determinants of tissue health and biological longevity. They include protective proteins and robust homeostatic systems that buffer against environmental and metabolic challenges.
