Stem Cell Aging: An Overview

  • Chapter

  • 1172 Accesses

Abstract

Stem cell dysfunction is associated with age-related degenerative and proliferative diseases. Recent work in a range of model organisms has focused on characterizing the causes and consequences of stem cell aging. The insight obtained from these studies is likely to impact our ability to promote healthy aging and to develop new therapies against age-related diseases. This book provides an overview of such studies, aiming to present a comprehensive assessment of the current status of the field.
