"Muscle stem cells don't age alone. Their microenvironment ages with them. New research identifies Tenascin-C (TnC) as a key extracellular matrix signal that declines with ageand its loss impairs muscle stem cell function. 🔬 Findings: Mice lacking TnC have fewer muscle stem cells (MuSCs) and defective self-renewal commitment and repair Fibro-adipogenic progenitors (FAPs) are the primary source of TnC during regeneration MuSCs respond via the surface receptor Annexin A2 TnC declines during aging leading to impaired MuSC function Adding soluble TnC to aged MuSCs in vitro rescues their ability"

"The mechanistic logic is solid: a 2025 meta-analysis of XX transcriptomes confirmed senescent cells broadly suppress DNA repairNER BER HR NHEJ all downregulated. BRCA1 expression drops. This creates dependencies. Same principle behind PARP inhibitors in BRCA-deficient tumors. CRISPR screens have already exploited this: GLS1 (Science 2021) Cyclophilin D (EMBO 2024)both essential for zombie cell survival both dispensable for normal cells. VitaSeno is hunting for more.

"Germline cells employ enhanced DNA repair checkpoint-mediated apoptosis of damaged oocytes and two waves of TET-mediated epigenetic reprogramming that reset accumulated marks. Dividing somatic cells dilute damage via asymmetric segregationbut this weakens with age Post-mitotic cells cannot dilute at all. Germline-free zebrafish recover faster from radiation damagedirect evidence that germline maintenance trades off with somatic repair The developmental "program" doesn't cause aging. It ceases actively resetting the damage that entropy ensures will accumulate. Entropy is real. So is repair"
