Cellular Aging
Cellular aging describes the functional and structural changes that occur in cells as they age. A central feature is cellular senescence, a state of permanent growth arrest accompanied by altered gene expression and inflammatory signaling. Other aspects include telomere attrition, mitochondrial dysfunction, DNA damage accumulation, and impaired autophagy. Aging cells exhibit reduced stress resistance and diminished ability to maintain homeostasis. Senescent cells can negatively impact surrounding tissues through the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), contributing to inflammation and tissue degeneration. Understanding cellular aging is critical for developing therapies such as senolytics and regenerative strategies aimed at restoring tissue function and delaying age-related decline.
