A study from the SKIN group suggest that cells in aged tissues transmit aging messages to neighbouring cells

Communication defects between the cells that make tissues represent a  possible cause of aging. In a study published on November 30, 2024 in the journal Aging, researchers from the SKIN team show that cells from aged skin produce a larger quantity of vesicles, whose molecular content is different from that of vesicles from cells from young skin. These results suggest that some cells in aged tissues may be transmitting a message of aging with a possible remote impact on the behavior of neighboring cells. Link to the publication
