Prostaglandins keep the stem cells young by increasing the expression of an inhibitory substance from mesenchymal cells in the bone marrow. The protein colored green (left) is a marker for mesenchymal cells. The inhibitor is colored red (center). Right: combined coloring of the two materials. It can be seen that treatment with prostaglandins (bottom row) increases the expression of the inhibitory substance. Illustration: Prof. Zvi Lapidot, Weizmann Institute
