Scientists identify stem cell ‘neighbourhood’ as key to healthy ageing
Scientists have uncovered new insights into the biology of ageing, showing that the decline of tissues may begin not within stem cells themselves, but in the surrounding support cells that sustain them. The findings open promising new avenues for research on healthy ageing and long-term tissue regeneration. The study was carried out by researchers at the Agharkar Research Institute, Pune - an autonomous institute under the Department of Science and Technology - and has been published as a cover...
