Patterning stem cell differentiation

Cell Stem Cell. 2008 Oct 9;3(4):362-3. doi: 10.1016/j.stem.2008.09.007.

Abstract

Regulation of cell differentiation and assembly remains a fundamental question in developmental biology. Now, a report from the Chen laboratory (Ruiz and Chen, 2008) describes an approach that represents a major step toward a more profound understanding of the geometric-force control of stem cell differentiation.
