Molecular model integrating both niche/environmental and cell autonomous theories of stem cell aging. Left: low level of niche-derived FGF2 permits spry1-dependent stem cell quiescence. Right: age-induced high FGF2 causes downregulation of spry1, which in turn leads to a cell autonomous alteration in the functionality of satellite cells and ultimately translates into stem cell decline.
