Fulvio Ferrara | Regenerative Medicine: Translating Science Into Care | Milan Longevity Summit 2026

*Blood Markers of Stem Cell Exhaustion* Can a blood test reveal when our regenerative capacity is beginning to decline? In this session from *Regenerative Medicine: Translating Science Into Care* at the *Milan Longevity Summit 2026*, *Dr. Fulvio Ferrara* explores the search for blood biomarkers capable of detecting stem cell exhaustion, a process increasingly linked to ageing and declining tissue repair. Stem cells help maintain and regenerate tissues throughout life, but their function can deteriorate with age. Identifying measurable signatures of this decline could provide new ways to assess biological ageing, monitor regenerative capacity, and potentially identify individuals at risk before functional deterioration becomes apparent. Dr. Fulvio Ferrara is Director of Laboratory Medicine at *IRCCS Istituto Auxologico Italiano*, where his work bridges laboratory diagnostics, biomarkers, and clinical research. His research contributes to the development of measurable biological indicators that can improve our understanding of ageing and support increasingly personalised approaches to prevention and care. The Milan Longevity Summit brings together global leaders across science, medicine, policy, business, technology and society to rethink the future of health through a *One Health* perspective—recognising that the wellbeing of people, planet and economies is deeply interconnected. *Learn more about the Milan Longevity Summit:* https://www.milanlongevitysummit.org/it/speakers26/fulvio-ferrara #MilanLongevitySummit #Longevity #OneHealth #FulvioFerrara #StemCells #Biomarkers #RegenerativeMedicine #BiologicalAge #HealthyAgeing #Healthspan
