DNA’s Hidden Helpers: How They Control Stem Cells for Healing
A study led by UC Riverside explored how adult stem cells maintain their ability to renew, a process critical for tissue repair and regeneration. Researchers discovered that helper proteins called histone chaperones are essential for properly organizing DNA and ensuring stem cells remain in their undifferentiated state. When these chaperones are disrupted, the stem cells lose their renewal capacity and begin […]
