The Aging Cell

The aging cell refers to the biological changes that occur in cells as they get older. Over time, cells accumulate damage from various factors, such as stress and pollution, which can affect their ability to function properly. As cells age, they may divide less efficiently, lose their ability to repair themselves, and even stop dividing altogether. This process contributes to the overall aging of tissues and organs, leading to common age-related conditions. Understanding aging cells is crucial for developing therapies aimed at promoting healthier aging and addressing age-related diseases.
