cell repair
Fixing damaged cells
Cell repair is the biological process by which damaged cells restore their structure and function.
This includes fixing DNA mutations, replacing damaged proteins, and healing membrane injuries.
The body performs cell repair continuously, though the term appears most often in contexts like aging research, cancer treatment, and speculative longevity science: Some researchers believe enhanced cell repair could extend human lifespan.
