Altersprozesse
Altersprozesse, also known as aging processes, refer to the complex and multifaceted biological changes that occur in living organisms over time. These processes lead to a gradual decline in physiological function and an increased susceptibility to disease and death. While aging is a universal phenomenon, its rate and manifestations can vary significantly between individuals and species. At a cellular level, aging is characterized by a variety of mechanisms, including telomere shortening, genomic instability, mitochondrial dysfunction, and the accumulation of cellular damage. These cellular changes contribute to the aging of tissues and organs, ultimately impacting the organism as a whole.
Systemic aging involves a decline in the efficiency of various bodily systems, such as the cardiovascular,
