How Blood Cells Age: From Stem Cells to Clones (with Dr Michael Milsom)

In this episode, Dr Michael Milsom discusses how thehematopoietic system aging is a complex process with multiple causes. Dr Milsom proposes a more holistic view of the driving mechanisms of hematopoietic andimmune aging that does not focus solely on HSCs. He describes how inflammation‑driven stem cell activation and proliferation cause functional attrition and clonalselection of HSCs, contributing to clonal hematopoiesis.

Learn about the mechanisms of blood cells aging andpotential interventions to slow down the process.
