Export and expression: MRNAs Deliver new messages for controlling pluripotency

摘要

Fine-tuning of the pluripotency program is executed by a multitude of cellular processes. Two recent studies published in Cell Stem Cell (Wang et al., 2013; Tahmasebi et al., 2014) provide novel insights into the posttranscriptional and translational regulatory mechanisms controlling stem cell pluripotency and somatic cell reprogramming.
