When telomeres become critically short, cells can no longer divide, leading to cellular senescence or programmed cell death. This contributes to aging at the cellular level. DNA Damage:  Over time, DNA accumulates various forms of damage due to exposure to environmental factors, such as radiation, toxins, and metabolic byproducts. DNA damage can lead to mutations and impair the normal functioning of cells, tissues, and organs, ultimately contributing to aging. Cellular Senescence:  Cellular senescence refers to a state in which cells lose their ability to divide but remain me
