Protein partly restores stem cell function in older human airway cells
Lab experiments compared nasal cells from adults over 70 and children under 10, finding weaker renewal capacity and lower levels of a regulatory protein in older donors.Lab experiments compared nasal cells from adults over 70 and children under 10, finding weaker renewal capacity and lower levels of a regulatory protein in older donors.
