Cellular Aging, Repair, and Stem Cells
Description
Cellular aging and tissue repair help explain how the body keeps its tissues working over time. Aging is the gradual loss of cell function. Regeneration is the repair of damaged tissue, and it is often mediated by preexisting adult, or somatic, stem cells.
Scientists study these processes to unde...

Transcript
Biologen op het gebied van veroudering en regeneratie proberen de mechanismen van deze twee complexe processen te begrijpen die betrokken zijn bij het behoud van de homeostase van weefsels.
Veroudering, of "senescentie", omvat deteriorering van celmorfologie en verlies van functies in de loop van de tijd, terwijl re...
