Aging at the Cellular Level: Technology's Role
The Intertwined Fates of Technology, Cellular Senescence, and Stem Cell Aging Our bodies are intricate machines composed of trillions of cells working in harmony. This cellular symphony relies on the delicate balance between cell growth, division, and death. However, as we age, this balance begins to shift, leading to a phenomenon known as cellular senescence – a state where cells stop dividing and enter a state of permanent arrest. This, coupled with the decline of stem cell function, significantly contributes to the visible signs of aging and increases susceptibility to age-related diseases. But what does technology have to do with this biological ballet? The answer lies in the exciting realm of regenerative medicine, where cutting-edge technologies are being harnessed to...
