摘要
Stem cells serve a vital role in multicellular organisms by constantly replenishing tissue with their differentiated progeny during normal homeostasis or damage. How these cells maintain their identities throughout the life of an organism is an area of intense research. In this review, we explore recent emerging evidence that stem cell fate decisions are based on their epigenome and specific epigenetic factors.-Sen, G. L.
