I thought the central problem was telemore degeneration, not anything to do with stem cells per se.

Happy to be corrected if wrong; I never worked anywhere near this category in my very long ago now pharma/biotech phase.

    That is part of it, which is what I alluded to in the degeneration of the dna. The stem cell thing too though. Our bodies aren't programmed to live beyond a certain point. We learned about this in a Nature of Disease course at University.
