'''Altered intercellular communication''' is recognized as one of the hallmarks of aging, encompassing changes in the signaling molecules, receptors, and overall communication processes that occur between cells in an organism. As individuals age, the efficiency and accuracy of these communication processes can decline, leading to disrupted homeostasis and increased risk of various diseases. This hallmark is crucial as it integrates multiple biological functions and signaling pathways that are essential for maintaining physiological balance and responding to stress and damage. | '''Altered intercellular communication''' is recognized as one of the hallmarks of aging, encompassing changes in the signaling molecules, receptors, and overall communication processes that occur between cells in an organism.
