Stem cell aging and aberrant differentiation within the niche.
Cell Stem Cell. 2009; (1): 6-8
Stem cells age, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In a recent issue of Cell, Inomata and colleagues (2009) show that DNA damage, a prime suspect in stem cell aging, causes graying and loss of melanocyte stem cells by inducing premature differentiation, without inducing apoptosis or senescence.
