Altering a cellular process can lead stem cells to die or regenerate, study finds

A new study led by Cedars-Sinai and the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), has determined that altering a cellular process can lead stem cells-;cells from which other cells in the body develop-;to die or regenerate.
