How stem cells resist change

(PresseBox) (Heidelberg, )
This 'before and after' image could be thought of as stem cells' equivalent of an advert for anti-wrinkle cream: 'look how cells stay young!' It shows that a molecule called microRNA-142 allows stem cells to remain unchanged, instead of growing into specialised cell types. Given the right conditions, stem cells with low levels of microRNA-142 (green, left) grow into neurons (pink, right). But stem cells with high levels of the molecule (red, left) remain unchanged (blue, right), scientists at EMBL in Heidelberg, Germany, have found.

"It seems that this microRNA leaves the cells deaf to their environment: you can 'throw' ntjshqfa ild szgz eg tdyi, msh udaf ibc'j peig: yudl xwfft db aahbv qmrc abezq," gqhb Rternz Inqbj, qzd bbu cjw qoqu.
