Aging Cell

Aging cells are cells in our body that gradually change as we grow older. Over time, they can become less effective at their functions, accumulate damage, and sometimes enter a state called senescence, where they stop dividing but don't die. This process contributes to the natural decline in tissue function and overall health associated with aging. Factors like environmental stress, lifestyle, and genetics influence how quickly cells age. Understanding aging cells helps scientists develop strategies to improve healthspan and treat age-related diseases.
