Early warning signals of ageing in human stem cells and age-related disorders (SYSTEMAGE)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2017,

The regenerative power of a living organism is linked to the potential of its stem cells to replace the corresponding damaged tissue. Therefore organisms are as old as their stem cells. Whereas the vulnerability to cancer and chronic inflammation is associated with a decline of the immune system, the latter is in turn a sum product of interactions among hematopoietic stem cells (HSC), endothelial ...
