Abstract

miR-155 function in the differentiation of monocyte cells uncovers one of the key features of miRNA-based regulation - to allow robust fate acquisition by repressing alternative programs. Several lines of evidence promote a general view of miRNA-based mechanisms, underlying the commitment of stem cells to a single cell fate while blocking other alternatives.
