Our laboratory studies both stem cell-intrinsic and extrinsic mechanisms altering tissue renewal capacity, and how such mechanisms ultimately result in the functional decline we recognize as aging.

and protected populations of T cells with short telomeres from early aging, the team found. There was also an increase in the number of stem-like memory T cells, which are able to perform either ...

Scientists and researchers around the globe are investigating a series of mysteries about what happens to our bones over time.

Billionaires are backing top scientists racing to develop tech that could reverse aging. Cellular reprogramming promises to rejuvenate the body — but how does it work, and is it safe? More from ...

Stem cells are cells that have the capacity to self-renew by dividing and to develop into more mature, specialised cells. Stem cells can be unipotent, multipotent, pluripotent or totipotent ...

He explained that the skin is the largest organ and undergoes both chronological and extrinsic ... of skin aging such as ...

As we age, our skin undergoes two distinct processes: intrinsic aging, which happens naturally over time due to genetic ...

Andre Catic, M.D., Ph.D. joined the Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine Center and the Huffington Center on Aging at Baylor College of Medicine in 2014 as a CPRIT Scholar in Cancer Research. His ...

For human health, prematurely aging cells are a big problem. When a cell ages and stops growing, its function changes, which can cause or worsen cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer's disease and ...

However, as we age, capacity of stem cells declines, and the resulting drop in tissue repair manifests as the functional decline associated with aging. Our goal is to understand why stem cell activity ...
