As we all know recently one of the major research focuses is aging and it is among the greatest known risk factors for most human diseases. Around 150,000 people who die each day across the globe, about two thirds die from age related causes. There is increasing evidence that the aging process can have adverse effects on stem cells. As stem cells age, their renewal ability deteriora
