A seed-and-soil theory for blood ageing

Abstract

The bone marrow is the daily production site for hundreds of billions of blood cells. A new study adds evidence that, during ageing, signals emanating from bone-marrow stromal cells shift to produce inflammatory factors that skew blood-cell output, driving age-related tissue deterioration.
