Keeping stem cells on track: maintaining organ and tissue homeostasis

这项研究的新发现对于理解干细胞如何在一生中自我更新时保持其特征具有根本重要性。这项工作将告知“促进和保持良好健康”的国家研究重点，因为在组织更新期间需要干细胞更新，这些结果将显示细胞如何相互交流以实现这一目标。 这项工作基于干细胞和生殖生物学专业知识的独特组合，展示了澳大利亚科学。

The novel findings from this study are of fundamental importance of understanding how stem cells maintain their characteristic features as they renew themselves over a lifetime. This work will inform the National Research Priority of ''Promoting and maintaining good health''' because stem cell renewal is required during tissue turnover and these results will show how cells communicate with each other to achieve this. This work is based on a unique combination of expertise in stem cell and reproductive biology and showcases Australian science.
