Age-Dependent Increase in Side Population Distribution Within Hematopoiesis: Implications for Our Understanding of the Mechanism of Aging
7 Dec 2006
Abstract excerpt
It is thought that, as we age, damage to our stem cells may lead to diminished stem cell pool function and, consequently, a reduced organ regeneration potential that contributes to somatic senescence. Stem cells have evolved many antitoxicity mechanisms, and certain mechanisms may be utilized to isolate hematopoietic stem cells. One method exploits the activity of the ATP-binding cassette/G2 transporter to efflux...
