Stem Cell Exhaustion and Mitochondrial Dysfunction: Implications for Cellular Senescence and Regenerative Medicine

Abstract Stem cell exhaustion is a critical factor contributing to aging and associated pathologies, characterized by a decline in the regenerative capacity of tissues. This review explores the intricate relationship between stem cell exhaustion and mitochondrial dysfunction, elucidating how impaired mitochondrial dynamics and bioenergetics contribute to the decline in stem cell function. We discuss the…

Role of Mitochondria in Longevity

Mitochondria play a crucial role in longevity through several mechanisms: Mitochondria play a central role in the aging process, as they are not only the primary source of cellular energy but also a major producer of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that can damage cellular components. As organisms age, mitochondrial function declines, leading to increased oxidative…
