IGF prevents frailty
by increasing skeletal
muscle mass (sarcopenia), sex
drive (infertility), brain thymus (immunosenescence, centenarians maintain a strong immune system), skeletal bone mineralization and marrow stem
cell formation (osteoporosis and immune system
by bone marrow immune
cells working in tandem with thymus and lymphs nodes), I understand that diabetes, an accelerated aging phenotype, is insulin IGF and blood glucose
driven.
In the new research, when a spheroid of induced pacemaker
cells was surrounded
by a layer of cardiac
muscle cells, the IPM
cells were able to
drive the previously quiescent nearby
cells at around 145 beats per minute.
