Systemic cytokines/#NFkB is responsible for aging in skeletal stem/progenitor cells (#SSPC's) but new research shows this aging can be reversed by modulating/decreasing these inflammatory factors

Is aging a "self-reinforcing loop" of increased systemic inflammation & oxidative stress already increasing at "middle age"? More & more evidence suggest that it is. #Omega3 may decrease both & be a powerful tool to break this vicious loop. nature.com/articles/s4159… #AntiAging
