Self-Repair Mechanisms

Meaning

Self-Repair Mechanisms refer to the complex, evolutionarily conserved cellular and molecular processes that the body innately employs to detect, correct, and mitigate damage at the DNA, protein, and organelle levels. These mechanisms include DNA repair pathways, chaperone-mediated protein folding, and autophagy for organelle clearance. The functional capacity of these systems is a direct determinant of healthspan, resilience, and the rate of biological aging.
