What is it about?

Authors explain how alcohol consumption can negatively impact stem cells, which are crucial for development and tissue repair. They review the effects of alcohol intake on different types of progenitor/stem cells including neuronal, hepatic, intestinal and adventitial progenitor cells, bone-marrow-derived stromal cell, dental pulp, embryonic and hematopoietic stem cells, and tumor-initiating cells. Understanding how alcohol damages stem/progenitor cells may support the development of better treatments for alcohol-related disorders.
