Abstract excerpt
Differentiated progenitors in intestinal crypts react to stem cell attrition by reverting to the multipotent state. In the February issue of Nature Cell Biology, Pashos et al.1 reveal a role for H3K36 methylation at cell-type-restricted genes in helping maintain differentiated cell states, hence regulating cell plasticity and regenerative responses.
