Adult Stem-Like Cells Exclude “Older” Mitochondria

Abstract

Asymmetric distribution of damaged cellular constituents may occur during mitosis, resulting in more and less pristine daughter cell pairs. In Science, Katajisto et al., (2015) report that mammary stem-like cells (SLCs) unequally apportion older mitochondria to post-division daughter cells, with the daughter containing younger mitochondria maintaining the SLC pool.
