A team of scientists including researchers from UCLA has developed an RNA sequencing technique that provides detailed information about a chemical modification that occurs on RNA and plays an important role in pluripotent stem cells' ability to turn into other types of cells. The method could advance scientists' use of stem cells in regenerative medicine, since pluripotent stem cells can turn into any cell type in the body.
