Where this comes from

Abstract

Aging is associated with impairments in hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) function and an increased risk of leukemogenesis. In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, Sun et al. (2014) use highly purified HSCs along with an integrated genomic approach to evaluate aging-associated alterations in the epigenome and transcriptome of HSCs.
