Chromosome Dynamics

Meaning

Chromosome dynamics refers to the complex, continuous movements, structural changes, and regulatory processes involving chromosomes within the nucleus of a cell, particularly during the cell cycle, DNA repair, and gene expression. In the context of hormonal health and longevity, this term highlights the integrity and stability of the genetic material, including telomere maintenance and epigenetic modifications, which are profoundly influenced by endocrine signaling. Stable chromosome dynamics are essential for preventing cellular senescence and malignant transformation, directly correlating with biological age and overall tissue function.
