Regeneration of Sinusoidal niches to preserve hematopoiesis after chemotherapy on Ageing
Cancer is a disease of the elderly and chemotherapy remains the mainstay of treatment. The benefits of chemotherapy include increased overall survival, improvement in quality of life, and palliation of symptoms. However, older patients are more susceptible to specific toxicities of chemotherapy, like myelosuppression and life-threatening neutropenia. Among the tissues strongly affected by chemotherapy, the bone marrow sinusoidal endothelial cells constitute the most important supportive niche for aged hematopoietic stem cells function and for myelopoietic recovery in the elderly. Up to now, few data are available about how aged sinusoidal niches regenerate upon chemotherapy damage and…
