Small RNAs: keeping stem cells in line

Cell. 2008 Feb 22;132(4):563-6. doi: 10.1016/j.cell.2008.02.005.

Abstract

Stem cells and RNA silencing have emerged as areas of intense interest for both basic and clinical research. Recently these fields have converged with reports implicating small regulatory RNAs in the maintenance and pluripotency of stem cells.
