Stem cell aging and cancer.

Science of aging knowledge environment : SAGE KE - 24 May 2006

Fuller Jennifer

Abstract excerpt

Stem cells are capable of self-renewal, differentiation into various lineages, and proliferation; thus, they play critical roles in the functioning and maintenance of many biological systems. However, these unique qualities of stem cells also make them more vulnerable to mutations as the organism ages. The biggest risk factor in cancer development is age, and most scientists believe that cancers partly result...
