A*STAR scientists have for the first time, identified that precise regulation of polyamine levels is critical for embryonic stem cell (ESC) self-renewal the ability of ESCs to divide indefinitely and directed differentiation. This paper is crucial for better understanding of ESC regulation and was published in the journal Genes & Development on March 1 by the team of scientists from the Institute of Medical Biology (IMB), a research institute under the Agency for Science, Technology and Research.
