Decoding the mechanisms underlying cell-fate decision-making during stem cell differentiation by random circuit…

Aug 26, 2020 - Stem cells can precisely and robustly undergo cellular differentiation and lineage commitment, referred to as stemness. However, how the gene network underlying stemness regulation reliably specifies cell fates is not well understood. To address
