Researchers Discover Stem Cell Senescence Drives Aging
Mayo Clinic researchers have shown that adult progenitor cells , or stem cells — important for repair and regeneration of skeletal muscle and maintenance of healthy fat tissue — are subject to cellular senescence, and that clearance of these cells limits age-related deterioration of these tissues. Jan van Deursen, Ph.D., a [...]
