Abstract excerpt

A variety of recent studies support the existence of pathways, in adult humans and rodents, that allow adult stem cells to be surprisingly flexible in their differentiation repertoires. Termed plasticity, this property allows adult stem cells, assumed until now to be committed to generating a fixed range of progeny, on relocation to switch to make other specialized sets of cells appropriate to their new niche....
