First events in stem cells becoming specialized cells needed for organ development

Cell biologists shed light on the very first step stem cells go through to turn into the specialized cells that make up organs. The findings implicate the ability of proteins to hang around in cells — their stability — as a major factor in controlling a stem cell’s state, and in the decision to remain a stem cell or transform into a specialized cell.
