A new study describes a technique that rejuvenates aging blood-forming stem cells and could help reduce the risk of age-related blood disorders.
Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have identified a way to rejuvenate aging blood-forming stem cells in mice by fixing problems in their lysosomes. Their findings, published in Cell Stem Cell, show that excessive lysosomal activity and damage play a central role in stem cell aging.
