Stem cells repopulate tissues after injury while also renewing themselves, but this makes
them vulnerable to genotoxic damage. Mohrin et al.(2010) and Milyavsky et al.(2010) now
show that mouse and human hematopoietic stem cells make opposing decisions about
whether to die or to persist in response to DNA damage.
