With their ability to give rise to many different cell types, stem cells have long been a target of scientists who seek to achieve control over their differentiation. New evidence suggests that stem cells influence their own fates through protein deposition and physical remodelling of their microenvironment.
干细胞具有分化为多种不同细胞类型的能力,长期以来一直是科学家们的目标,他们试图实现对干细胞分化的控制。新的证据表明,干细胞通过蛋白质沉积和微环境的物理重塑来影响自身命运。
