Stem Cells and Aging

"In the beginning there is the stem cell; it is the origin of an organism's life." — Stewart Sell


Aging is a complex biological process characterized by the gradual decline of physiological functions, leading to increased vulnerability to diseases and diminished regenerative capacities. Central to this decline is the reduced functionality of stem cells, which are essential for tissue maintenance and repair.​

Stem cells play a pivotal role in maintaining tissue integrity and function. Addressing the challenges associated with stem cell aging through targeted therapies and lifestyle modifications holds significant potential for promoting healthy aging and enhancing the quality of life in older individuals.
