Abstract
Under normal homeostatic conditions, tissue stem cells undergo long-term self renewal and produce progeny that differentiate into several different cell types. But what happens if the stem cells are lost? In a recent issue of Developmental Cell, Nakagawa et al. (2007) propose that the progeny of stem cells, called transit-amplifying progenitor cells, are able to replace lost stem cells.Mesh：
