Remaining true to one’s identity

Abstract

The ability to remain true to cellular identity and function is lost during aging and carcinogenesis when DNA damage triggers inflammation that progressively erodes homeostatic cues. Shalabi et al. show that these losses are accelerated in patients with germline cancer mutations in DNA repair genes and are independent of chronological age.
