title: Exposing hidden dimensions of embryonic stem cell cycle control.
abstract: In a recent issue of Nature Genetics, Wang and colleagues (2008) describe a mechanism for how the mir-290 microRNA cluster regulates the cell cycle of murine embryonic stem cells. A focal point of this regulation is the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21(Cip1).
