The Process of Ageing Begins

Ageing starts at the cellular level, with stem cells being the foundational building blocks that differentiate into various cell types in the body. When a baby is developing, a cluster of stem cells transforms into the multitude of cells that make up the body, such as skin cells, muscle cells, and brain cells. DNA plays a crucial role in this process, acting as the recipe that instructs stem cells on how to form these cells. As we grow, our bodies continuously read this DNA to produce more cells, supporting our physical development from infancy through childhood and into adolescence.
