IFNγ is a double-edged sword for gut regeneration. Young guts: transient burst heals. Aged guts: prolonged upregulation impairs repair by trapping cells in a fetal-like state🔥📉 #immunology #inflammaging #aging #stemcells #regeneration
Maladaptive inflammatory signaling in old mice impairs colonic regeneration by promoting a sustained fetal-like epithelial state
Aging is associated with a decline in the regenerative capacity of many tissues. Central to this decline is a complex interplay between inflammation and stem cell function. How these two processes are...
