I am excited to share a lab publication, led by former postdoctoral fellows Daniel Benjamin and Jengmin Kang, examining how quiescent stem cells allocate resources for survival over function during aging and revealing a survivorship bias in the study of cell aging.

Cellular survivorship bias as a mechanistic driver of muscle stem cell aging
Aging is characterized by a decline in the ability of tissue repair and regeneration after injury. In skeletal muscle, this decline is largely driven by impaired function of muscle stem cells (MuSCs) ...
