Abstract

Adult stem cells support tissue homeostasis and repair throughout the life of an individual. Many stem cells lose the capacity for self-renewal when removed from their local microenvironment (“niche”), indicating that the niche plays a major role in controlling stem cell fate. Numerous intrinsic changes occur with age that result in altered stem cell behavior and reduced tissue maintenance and regeneration. However, changes to the local and systemic environments also occur that result in decreased stem cell activity or alterations in lineage commitment.
