Epigenetic signatures associated with different levels of differentiation potential in human stem cells.
<h4>Background</h4>The therapeutic use of multipotent stem cells depends on their differentiation potential, which has been shown to be variable for different populations. These differences are likely to be the result of key changes in their epigenetic profiles.<h4>Methodology/prin...

<h4>Background</h4>The therapeutic use of multipotent stem cells depends on their differentiation potential, which has been shown to be variable for different populations.
