Excerpt

Tissue degeneration is a hallmark for the aging of an organism. With the capabilities of self-renewal and differentiation, stem cells are largely responsible for tissue maintenance and regeneration. Therefore, stem cells must be directly involved in organismal aging. In fact, many types of adult stem cells have been reported to be associated with tissue degeneration in a variety of species including human. Research on stem cell aging has been increasingly emphasized in recent years. Since 2009, there have been two international conferences held in Germany on stem cell aging (http://www.ageing-research.de/index.html). There was a special session on stem cell aging at the ISSCR meeting as well (http://www.isscr.org//AM/Template.cfm?Section=Home). Funding on stem cell aging has also been increased in some countries. For example, the Chinese government recently funded a national key research program on stem cell aging (http://www.most.gov.cn/tztg/201008/t20100806_78777.htm). …
