Haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are characterized by their self-renewal potential and associated dormancy. Here the authors show that niche produced netrin-1 preserves HSC quiescence and self-renewal via neogenin-1, and that decline of netrin-1 production during ageing leads to decreased Neo1 mediated HSC self-renewal.
