Funded Activity Summary

Stem cells hold great promise in cell replacement therapies and may provide models to study human diseases and to screen new pharmaceuticals. For successful future therapeutic applications, a deeper understanding of the molecular mechanisms governing the behavior of stem cells is crucial. In this proposal we will investigate the role of alternative splicing in the control of the fundamental properties of stem cells, and identify target RNAs and gene expression networks regulated by splicing factors.
