Stem-cell niches: It's the ecology, stupid!

Stem cells are engaged in constant crosstalk with their environment, biologists are fast realizing. So the emerging field of regenerative medicine is now wrestling with the ecological concept of the niche. Kendall Powell reports.Niche distinctionWill understanding how adult stem cells interact with their microenvironments be the key to unlocking their therapeutic potential?
