According to the results published in Nature Aging, ex vivo treatment of blood stem cells with the drug Rhosin leads to blood stem cell rejuvenation and helps produce healthier blood cells once transplanted back in the bone marrow.

Previously, Dr M. Carolina Florian and her team proved the central role of blood stem cells in the aging of the whole body, suggesting blood rejuvenation as an important biomedical strategy to extend healthspan and lifespan and prevent age-related diseases.

Biomedical rejuvenation strategies that target aging and its detrimental health effects will be essential in the future scenario of an aging population: by 2050, the population over 60 years of age will have doubled.

With climate change expected to intensify heatwaves, flooding and air pollution in cities worldwide, why are we not tapping into the full potential of nature-based solutions? An international study led by the University of Surrey’s Global Centre for Clean Air Research (GCARE) in collaboration with 86 specialists across 11 countries explores the current barriers hindering the implementation of green and blue infrastructure (GBI) that could help build climate resilience – such as parks, trees, rivers, wetlands and green roofs.
