Predicting the number of lifetime divisions for hematopoietic stem cells from telomere length measurements

Summary: How many times does a typical hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) divide to maintain a daily production of over 1011 blood cells over a human lifetime? It has been predicted that relatively few, slowly dividing HSCs occupy the top of the hematopoietic hierarchy. However, tracking HSCs directly is...
