ntegrative healthcare is an approach that combines conventional Western medicine with complementary and alternative therapies to address the physical, emotional, mental, social, and spiritual aspects of health and wellness. It emphasizes a patient-centered, holistic approach that considers the whole person, rather than just focusing on treating specific symptoms or diseases.

ABSTRACT
Despite their biological importance, the role of stem cells in human aging remains to be elucidated. In this work, we applied a machine learning methodology to GTEx transcriptome data and assigned stemness scores to 17,382 healthy samples from 30 human tissues aged between 20 and 79 years. We found that ~60% of the studied tissues exhibit a significant negative correlation between the subject’s age and stemness score. The only significant exception was the uterus, where we observed an increased stemness with age. Moreover, we observed that stemness is positively correlated with cell proliferation and negatively correlated with cellular senescence. Finally, we also observed a trend that hematopoietic stem cells derived from older individuals might have higher stemness scores. In conclusion, we assigned stemness scores to human samples and show evidence of a pan-tissue loss of stemness during hu..
