Researcher Yao Hongjie from the Guangzhou Institute of Biomedicine and Health, Chinese Academy of Sciences published a research report entitled “PCGF5 is required for neural differentiation of embryonic stem cells” on Nature Communications. This work reveals the molecular mechanism by which polycomb PCGF5 regulates the differentiation of embryonic stem cells into neural precursor cells.   Epigenetic modification plays an important role in maintaining stem cell characteristics and cell fate transformation….
