Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) have been widely applied in translational and regenerative medicine. However, during aging, there is a recognized functional decline in ADSCs, which compromises their therapeutic effectiveness. Currently, the mechanisms of aging-induced stem cell dysfunction remain unclear. Hence, there is a need to elucidate these mechanisms and propose strategies for reversing this functional impairment. In this study, we found that ADSCs isolated from old donors (O-ADSCs) presented inferior phenotypes and decreased miR-145-5p levels compared to those from young donors (Y-ADSCs)...
