Why it matters

The VSEL-centric model offers a paradigm shift for regenerative medicine, suggesting that harnessing endogenous stem cell niches could be more effective than reprogramming mature cells. This perspective could redirect therapeutic development toward niche restoration and away from dedifferentiation-based strategies.
