Study Shows Vitamin A Deficiency Detrimental To Stem Cells

Description

According to a new study from the German Cancer Research Center, deficiencies in vitamin A can be detrimental to blood stem cells. These specialized cells in the skin, gut, or blood have a relatively short lifespan and require constant replenishment. In 2008, researchers discovered a group of special stem cells in the bone marrow that remain dormant most of the time and only become active to fight bacterial or viral infections, heavy blood loss or as a reaction to chemotherapy.
