Abstract

Maintaining stem cell quiescence is intimately connected to preserving long-term self-renewal potential. In this issue of Cell Stem Cell,Paik et al. (2009) and Renault et al. (2009) demonstrate a role for FoxO transcription factors in regulating neural stem cell proliferation and in maintaining stem and progenitor cell homeostasis.
