Abstract
Ageing and cancer are often seen as divergent tissue fates. In our study, we identify a protective programme, called senescence-coupled differentiation (or seno-differentiation), that eliminates cancer-prone stem cells by pushing them to differentiate. Whether melanocyte stem cells follow this path or bypass it under carcinogenic stress determines tissue outcomes: hair greying or melanoma development.
