Abstract
Autophagy, a central pathway for cellular homeostasis, plays diverse roles in development, cancer, aging, and neurodegeneration. In a new report in Nature, Ho et al. (2017) show that autophagy is essential for maintaining the replicative quiescence of hematopoietic stem cells throughout life by limiting the number of active mitochondria.
