Deskripsi

Pten is known to regulate haematopoietic stem cell functions. Here the authors show that Ptenalteration of Notch signalling has stage-specific muscle regenerative functions in muscle stem cells by preventing premature differentiation of quiescent cells and enhancing the self-renewal of activated cells.
