Abstract

Until recently, aging was viewed as a fixed and irreversible process. However, in this issue of Cell Stem Cell, Florian et al. (2012) reveal a link between increased activity of the RhoGTPase Cdc42, hematopoietic stem cell polarity, and aging that can be regulated by pharmacological inhibition of Cdc42.
