In adult tissues, stem cells are defined by their unique capacity to self-renew and produce non- equivalent daughters that can differentiate into cell lineages to maintain tissue homeostasis. Misregulation of stem cell functions has been implicated in a variety of human diseases such as degenerative diseases and cancer. Thus, understanding the regulatory mechanisms of adult stem cells is important for stem cell biology and their future use in regenerative medicine.
