Scientists have identified promising new pathways to advance research on healthy ageing, offering fresh insights into how tissues maintain function over time and how age-related decline may be slowed or prevented. In a recent study, researchers found that ageing is not driven solely by changes within stem cells, but also by alterations in their surrounding microenvironment, known as the stem cell niche. The study highlights that damage to supporting cells and signalling systems can impair the regenerative capacity of stem cells, even when the stem cells themselves remain intact.…
