Several factors can cause cellular dysfunctions, including genetic mutations, environmental stressors, infections, and chronic diseases.
Genetic mutations: These can lead to the production of abnormal proteins, affecting cell function and structure. Environmental stressors: Exposure to toxins, radiation, or extreme temperatures can damage cellular components. Infections: Pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi can disrupt normal cellular processes. Chronic diseases: Conditions like diabetes, hypertension, and autoimmune diseases can lead to long-term cellular damage.
