BEIJING, Nov. 9, 2023 (TBINN)
Chinese researchers claimed to have identified a unique group of cells that contributes to the ageing process and might be mitigated with everyday Vitamin C supplements.
The cell subtype surrounds the motor neurons in the spinal cord and is believed to accelerate the ageing process, making it a factor in the shuffling gait common among the elderly, according to an unedited paper published by the peer-reviewed journal Nature, the Hong Kong-based South China Morning Post reported.
The seven-year study involved researchers from three labs who hoped their discovery could fill a knowledge gap in the poorly understood mechanisms underlying the relationship between ageing and the spinal cord’s critical role in sustaining health and mobility.
