Summary

This study shows that knockdown of Atg6, a crucial autophagy-related factor, in ISC induces age-related phenotypes of ISC such as hyperproliferation, centrosome amplification, and DNA damage accumulation, and suggests that Atg 6 is required for the inhibitory effect of metformin on ISC aging, providing an intervention mechanism of metforming on adult stem cell aging.
