Researchers have found that old skeletal stem cells contribute to bone fragility and poor healing in mice, but that a stem cell-boosting gel may help restore function. Stanford Medicine researchers have discovered how genetic and molecular changes in aging skeletal stem cells may contribute to poor fracture healing, osteoporosis and various blood disorders, as well as general inflammation...
A new study shows for the first time that gut bacteria from old mice induce age-related chronic inflammation when transplanted into young mice. Called “inflammaging”, this low-grade chronic inflammation is linked to life-limiting conditions such as stroke, dementia and cardiovasuclar disease. The research, published today in open-access journal Frontiers in Immunology, brings the hope of a...
