Stem cell niche and asymmetric division in aging (STEM CELLS AND AGING)

Date du début: 1 sept. 2013, Date de fin: 31 août 2017,

Adult stem cells maintain tissues for the life of an organism by balancing regeneration with tissue damage and turnover. Accordingly, the functional decline associated with aging is hypothesized to result from the reduced net stem cell function. Mechanisms that increase stem cell number, maintenance, or function could therefore be used to counter age related tissue damage. Surprisingly, the very p ...
