Prematurely Aged or Overworked Stem Cells Could Be Major Factor in Chronic Lung Disease

Are prematurely aged or overworked stem cells a significant factor in chronic lung disease? Findings of a study just released in STEM CELLS Translational Medicine (SCTM) say this is likely so. The study determined that repeated injury to the epithelial tissue of the airways causes “biological aging” of the stem cells located there. “This premature aging of [...]
