What Causes Premature Aging at the Cellular Level?
Several factors contribute to premature aging at the cellular level:
Genetic Mutations: Mutations in genes responsible for DNA repair, cell cycle regulation, and telomere maintenance. Oxidative Stress: Excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) leading to cellular damage. Inflammation: Chronic inflammation causing tissue damage and promoting aging processes. Epigenetic Changes: Alterations in DNA methylation and histone modification impacting gene expression.
