摘要

Cellular stress response is the response of the cell at molecular level in order to combat various environmental stressors / viral infections. These stressors can be either intra or extracellular. In the beginning of the insult cell tries to recoup from these adverse events by various mechanism like heat shock protein response, unfolded protein response, mitochondrial stress signaling, DNA damage response etc. However, if these stressors exceed the cellular capacity to coup with it, it leads to programmed cell death and senescence. Also, chronic stress and cortisol released in response to cellular stress decreases telomerase activity which is needed to replenish telomeres which are protective casing at the end of a strand of DNA. Too low telomeres lead to cell death or cell become pro-inflammatory leading to aging process and other health associated risks like cardiovascular diseases neurodegenerative diseases, autoimmune diseases, cancers etc.
