In today’s open access paper, researchers discuss the influence of metabolism on the aging of stem cells. Stem cells maintain tissue by providing a supply of daughter somatic cells to replace losses. Animals have evolved to minimize the risk of cancer by limiting the ability of near all cells to replicate. Somatic cells operate under the Hayflick limit, driven by loss of telomere length with each cell division, leading to senescence or self-destruction when telomeres are short. Stem cells use telomerase to maintain long telomeres and thus continually produce replacement somatic cells with long telomeres.
