Researchers at RMIT University have used high frequency MHz-order mechanostimulation to trigger differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells from various...

When mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) age, the transcription factor GATA6 is increasingly produced in the cell to induce aging response; by transcription factor-based cellular reprogramming, aged MSCs are rejuvenated with a reduction in GATA6 effects on cellular aging.
