Arguing for Clonal Hematopoiesis of Indeterminate Potential to Contribute to Aging

Clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) is arguably the most studied form of somatic mosaicism, in which stem cells accumulate mutations over time, and thus patterns of those mutations spread out into the tissue supported by those stem cells. In this case, the "tissue" is the immune system, made up of immune cells descended from...
