Abstract

The aging of tissue-specific stem cell and progenitor cell compartments is believed to be central to the decline of tissue and organ integrity and function in the elderly. Here, we examine evidence linking stem cell dysfunction to the pathophysiological conditions accompanying aging, focusing on the mechanisms underlying stem cell decline and their contribution to disease pathogenesis.

Claims the paper makes

We couldn’t retrieve this paper’s full text, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Environmental stress may damage cellular constituents including DNA, which has been proposed to underlie ageing and limit lifespan.

    “Environmental stress may lead to damage of cellular constituents, including DNA, a process that has been proposed to underlie the ageing of cells and tissue and to limit lifespan104,105.”

    From Molecular regulation of stem cell quiescence (2013) · cites this paper as [105]

  • In mouse HSCs and neural stem cells, excessive cellular ROS concentrations cause abnormal proliferation, malignancy, and compromised self-renewal.

    “in HSCs and neural stem cells (NSCs) of mice, excessive cellular ROS concentrations lead to abnormal proliferation, malignancy and compromised stem cell self-renewal11–14”
  • DDR pathways that safeguard genomic integrity may show reduced activity in stem cells with age.

    “These observations suggest that DDR pathways, evolved to safeguard genomic integrity and maximize survival of the organism13,44–46, may show reduced activity in stem cells with age.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
