Cellular Stress Tolerance

Meaning

Cellular Stress Tolerance is the intrinsic physiological capacity of a cell to effectively withstand, neutralize, and recover from various damaging stimuli, including oxidative stress, metabolic overload, and proteotoxicity. A high degree of tolerance indicates robust cellular health, efficient DNA repair mechanisms, and a minimized rate of cellular senescence. Enhancing this fundamental tolerance is a core clinical strategy in longevity medicine, directly supporting tissue function and systemic vitality.
