REST/NRSF Preserves muscle stem cell identity by repressing alternate cell fate - Nature Communications Here the authors show that REST/NRSF represses non-muscle lineage genes in muscle stem cells and progenitors, preserving their identity and differentiation capacity. Loss of REST disrupts gene silenci... https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-025-62758-y
