With age the quantity of pluripotent stem cells gradually decreases. It leads to violation of renewal of tissues, including tissues of endocrine organs, at people over 35-40 years old. Artificial formation of the chimeral individual may be used for recovery of the pool of pluripotent stem cells in patients older than 40-50 years old.

Scarring is caused by various types of injuries, including operations, as well as by a number of diseases. Scarring often culminates in the formation of strictures and other complications.

Cell-precursors (progenitor cells) and differentiated cells can be divided a limited number of times and aren't capable of ensuring regeneration of tissues during the whole process of ontogenesis. The renewal of tissues during the whole long period is impossible without the participation of a specialized system which is responsible for regeneration.

Progenitor cells (cells-predecessors) and differentiated cells, having started the differentiation pathway or having finished it, can divide a limited number of times and are not capable of ensuring tissue regeneration during the whole period of ontogenesis. Renewal of tissues over such a long period is impossible without the participation of a specialized system which is responsible for regeneration.

Introduction: Decreasing of testosterone level is an important part of a male elderly.
Material And Methods: To describe this phenomenon a PubMed and national databases were searched for 17β-dehydrotestosterone, common testosterone, free testosterone, 17β-estradiol, luteinizing hormone, partial androgen deficiency of aging men.
Results: The reduction in intensity of the processes of tissue renewal of the testicles results in a partial androgen deficiency of aging men.
