Definitions for adult stem cells debated

Nature, 2018, vol. 563, issue 7731, 328-329

Abstract: Adult tissues must maintain themselves and regenerate after damage. But are these crucial functions mediated by dedicated populations of stem cells, or do differentiated cells adopt stem-cell-like properties according to an organ’s needs? Here, two scientists present evidence from both sides of the debate.
