Somatic Information Integrity

Meaning

Somatic Information Integrity is a conceptual term representing the flawless maintenance and accurate transmission of all genetic, epigenetic, and structural information within the non-reproductive cells of the body. This integrity is absolutely crucial for preventing the accumulation of errors in DNA, ensuring proper protein folding, and maintaining the correct cellular identity and functional specialization. A progressive loss of this integrity, often clinically seen as DNA damage and widespread epigenetic drift, is considered a primary and fundamental driver of aging and all age-related disease.
