Scientists have discovered that aging muscle may contribute to cancer growth by releasing fewer extracellular vesicles, tiny particles that cells use to communicate with one another.
Their study also found that composition of these particles changes with age, weakening protective signals that help suppress tumor development.
Encouragingly, exercise appears to restore this protective function.
