Clonal reversal of ageing-associated stem cell lineage bias via a pluripotent intermediate

Age-associated decline in tissue function has been linked to alterations in adult stem cells, with implications for organ homeostasis and cellular therapy. Here, the authors study the heterogeneity of ageing mouse haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and find that the compromised blood cell-forming pote...

Description
Summary:Age-associated decline in tissue function has been linked to alterations in adult stem cells, with implications for organ homeostasis and cellular therapy. Here, the authors study the heterogeneity of ageing mouse haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and find that the compromised blood cell-forming potential of individual and functionally defined aged HSCs can be reset by reprogramming.
