Track 20: Stem Cells and Aging
Stem cells have the ability to transform into different cell types, making them key to regenerative medicine. As we age, their regenerative capacity declines, affecting tissue repair. The niches where stem cells reside change with age, impacting their function. Stem cell therapy offers promise for treating age-related diseases and improving tissue regeneration, potentially enhancing healing and function in aging tissues. Stem cells may provide new treatments for autoimmune diseases, When the immune system mistakenly targets and attacks the body's own tissues.Studies are focusing on their ability to generate healthy cells and modulate the immune system, with the goal of reducing the severity of autoimmune responses.
