New Delhi, Jan. 13 -- Support cells surrounding stem cells rather than stem cells alone, are far more vulnerable to ageing and may hold the key to understanding how tissues age and lose their generative capacity.
According to a new research, the "neighbourhood" around stem cells, rather than the stem cells alone, may hold a vital clue to understanding how tissues age. The study reveals that support cells surrounding stem cells are far more vulnerable to ageing-related damage, opening new avenues for research on healthy ageing.
Noting that healthy aging is a global priority and scientists are working on strategies for delaying the onset of age-related decline in human tissues, researchers at the Agharkar Research Institute (ARI), Pune, stu...
