Summary:
Poor stem cell communication causes the slow, incomplete muscle healing associated with aging, a new study suggests. Publishing in the Aug. 10 issue of the journal Science, researchers from Stanford University School of Medicine found an age-related decline in the lines of communication to the stem cells of muscles. The stem cells receive garbled messages about muscle repair, which leads to slower and poorer quality healing.
