A new study published in STEM CELLS Translational Medicine demonstrates how mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) not only protect the heart from further damage after a cardiac incident but can also slow down its ageing process. The findings in a rat model of the ageing heart could put stem cells to the forefront as a possible solution for a more effective...Read more
