Loss of Cell Identity Proposed as Driver of Human Aging
Original: Loss of cell identity drives human aging: Two new papers
Two new scientific papers argue that aging in humans is driven by the progressive loss of cell identity, in which cells drift from their specialized states over time. Eric Topol discusses the findings, and the research is drawing attention as a potentially important reframing of how aging and age-related disease should be understood.
Why now: The papers offer a new explanation of aging, prompting broad scientific and public interest.
