Autologous stem cell therapy has not been as effective as forecasted from preclinical studies. Patient age was reported as an important contributing factor. The goal of this study was to uncover age-dependent mechanisms of stem cell dysfunction and to investigate possible means to restore the cellular function. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) were isolated from cardiovascular patients. Cell...
