Abstract
Stem cell interactions with their niche have been well documented; however, the influences of stem cells on one another are rarely addressed. In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, Jin et al. (2008) demonstrate that stem cells compete for niche occupancy, ultimately leading to the domination of one stem cell population over time.
