Stem cells generate the differentiated cell types within many organs throughout the lifespan
of an organism and are thus ultimately responsible for the longevity of multicellular
organisms. Therefore, senescence of stem cells must be prevented. Bmi1 is required for the
maintenance of adult stem cells in some tissues partly because it represses genes that
induce cellular senescence and cell death.
