    GlossaryStem Cell Aging

    gradual decline in stem cells' function and regenerative ability

    Stem cell aging refers to the gradual decline in the function and regenerative capacity of stem cells as they age. This process can lead to reduced tissue repair and regeneration, contributing to aging-related diseases and conditions, including hair loss and alopecia. For professionals, it involves understanding the molecular and cellular mechanisms, such as DNA damage, oxidative stress, and changes in the stem cell niche, that drive this decline.
